Stevie Wonder made a surprise appearance on Sunday (March 29) during his current American tour. The congregation at New Salem Baptist Church in north Minneapolis were somewhat taken aback to find the Motown legend sitting in the front pew.

Wonder was in town for a show that evening at the Target Centre, and was invited to the church by the Rev. Jerry McAfee, who is a friend. He not only attended, but rose to sing a favourite hymn, ‘I Won’t Complain.’ Then, at the end of the service, reports vindy.com, Stevie had a further surprise for all those present, as he announced that he would donate $10,000 to the church.

Stevie and his band are performing the whole of the classic ‘Songs In The Key Of Life’ album on the 12-show tour, which opened on March 17 in Denver. Tonight (April 1), they play at the Schotttenstein Centre in Columbus.
