Alan Shearer sings Lionel Richie's All Night Long at Northumberland karaoke bar Match of the Day presenter entertained punters at a Northumberland pub One regular said the footballer's favourite is to sing Lionel Richie He's also been caught on film singing Kings of Leon in the past You might think that being in the public eye would be a good reason to stay away - far away - from participating in karaoke nights in local pubs. But for former England striker Alan Shearer, nothing it appears will get between him and singing to unsuspecting members of the public. The panel member of Match of the Day took to the stage at the Close House in Northumberland recently, to sing one of his all time favourites: All Night Long, by Lionel Richie. Don't give up the day job: Alan Shearer has been spotted singing karaoke in a pub in Northumberland Fortunately for the punters at this pub, the song only lasted a few minutes, as opposed to all night. At points he appears to be shouting, more than singing, but in general the revellers appeared to be enjoying his performance, or maybe just the novelty of a former England football star giving it a go. The former England footballer took up the mic to do his own rendition of Lionel Richie's 'All Night Long' Off the pitch? Fortunately for the revellers at the pub, the song only lasted a few minutes, as opposed to all night Quoted in the Mirror, one regular said: 'People think Al's as square as a box of matches but he's a right laugh. He loves to get up and sing. His favourite is Lionel. He'll do Dancing on the Ceiling or All Night Long.' The former Newcastle United Striker has been caught on film many times, it seems, since his footballing heydays, singing karaoke in various pubs. Habit: It's not the first time the Match of the Day commentator has taken to the microphone - here he was snapped previously singing Sex is on Fire by the Kings of Leon And it appears he's not too fussed where in the country he is, joining in full of enthusiasm in karaoke nights in various establishments all over the country. Recent youtube videos, posted over the last few years, show the father-of-three singing his favourite Lionel, as well as the Kings of Leon, in a 'country bar in Ireland,' according to the post. He's even been filmed by his daughter, according to YouTube, singing along to the radio in the car - see below.
