“We know this is one of your favourite songs, American Pie,” Biden said to Yoon, having pulled him up on to the stage .


“Yes, that’s true,” the 62-year-old Yoon said, saying he had loved the song, released in 1971, since he was at school.


We want to hear you sing it,” said Biden.

“It’s been a while, but …” Yoon responded.

Yoon sang the first few lines of the song a cappella, triggering rapturous applause from the crowd and delighting Biden and first lady Jill Biden.
