Music and hockey met when retro rockers Dirty Honey introduced a special guest onstage on Tuesday night (March 29) — former New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist joined the band for a song during their performance at New York City’s Webster Hall.
The athlete performed additional guitar on the tune “The Wire” following a laudatory introduction from Dirty Honey singer Marc LaBelle.
The Los Angeles-based rockers were in town with Wolfgang Van Halen‘s Mammoth WVH as part of their joint Young Guns Tour, which continues into April with more U.S. dates.

“I got a buddy in town tonight,” Labelle told the audience as he put on a Lundqvist Rangers jersey. “He’s played the Garden more times than Billy Joel, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen combined, y’all.”
The vocalist continued, “They threw his numbers up in the rafters a few weeks ago. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise on the guitar for Henrik Fucking Lundqvist!”
Lundqvist, who was born in Sweden, played his entire 15-season NHL career with the Rangers before retiring last year. In January, the team retired the number 30 in his honor.
The single “The Wire” is the second track on Dirty Honey’s 2021 self-titled debut album, which followed the Dirty Honey EP two years prior. Get Dirty Honey concert tickets here.
