During the three-hour show, the Pakistani musician performed classic hits such as ‘Teri Meri’, ‘Mere Rashke Qamar’ and ‘Dam Mast Kalandar’.
Mr Khan addressed the crowd and said:
“The special thing about Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is he’s played at the Nobel Peace Prize, he’s performed for Kings and Queens, and he makes songs for Bollywood and Hollywood films, but he never forgets his fans in London.”
He added: “It is great to see the South Asian community in London coming out to enjoy live music again after what has been a very difficult past 18 months.
