Bryan Adams appears to have just given Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith his endorsement in the race to be Mayor of London.
The grizzled Canadian rocker used social media to express his support, claiming that the politician will make London the "greenest big city on Earth".
No, don't cough on your post-lunchtime cup of coffee – it really happened. Here it is now:
London needs an environmentalist for mayor. @ZacGoldsmith will help make London the greenest big city on Earth. #BackZac2016

The move caused no small degree of consternation amongst fans. Britain's very own grizzled rocker John Prescott replied:
Don't look back in anger @bryanadams! Vote for a Mayor for ALL Londoners! Vote @SadiqKhan pic.twitter.com/LFbkAV8hXr #TeamKhan
