A kind hearted couple who rescued Dave Matthews from the side of the road as they drove to one of his concerts have revealed they only took the rural route as they were running late for the gig.
Emily Kraus and her boyfriend Joe were driving to see the multi-million selling rock star perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania when they noticed Matthews, 46, standing by his bike on the side of the road.
Stuck with a flat tire and no cell phone along a country road, the Grammy-award winner was staring down the barrel of being a no-show for his own gig.
In a stroke of luck for Matthews - and the couple - they were running late for his show so happened to drive past him after taking a back road route.
After arriving at the venue, the couple were tailgating with friends when they received a call from one of Matthews' representatives asking them to join him for dinner.
Kraus said they felt a little out of place and were overwhelmed also to receive front-row tickets to the show, signed tickets and a personal thank you from Matthews during the show.
'I did not have a cell phone on the bicycle. So I thought, 'Sh*t,' said Matthews that night at his show at Hersheypark Stadium.
'And then a nice lady named Emily rode up in a red car with a bicycle rack on it and gave me a ride on to the gig.'
