Rock on, Steven Tyler!

The Aerosmith frontman surprised fans in Moscow, Russia on Friday when he suddenly began performing with a street musician. Accompanied by the busker on an acoustic guitar, the two sang the band's 1998 power ballad, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

After they were done, Tyler, 67, gave the guy a high five and posed for pics with him as a small crowd that had gathered cheered.

"Spasiba [thank you]!" a woman exclaimed.

The song was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Armageddon, which stars the rocker's daughter Liv Tyler, 38, and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, where it remained for about five months.

This is not the first time Steven has surprised street musicians with a duet performance. In 2014, he joined two female buskers in Lithuania who played Aerosmith's 1993 hit "Crazy" on a violin and accordion.

"LANDED IN MOSCOW...WHEN I'M GOOD...I'M VERY GOOD..." Steven said on Instagram several days ago, along with a photo of himself. "BUT WHEN I'M BAD I'M EVEN BETTER...BUT GET SENT TO THE KACCA ROOM."

The "Kacca Room" is actually a ticket office at a train station.
