Guildhall managers posted footage of the proposal on Twitter (note: full clip contains some strong language) saying ‘Huge congratulations to the happy couple who got engaged tonight on stage‘ and also tweeted an offer to give them a discount if they chose the Guildhall as their wedding venue.

Today Joe posted a message of thanks to Black Stone Cherry saying: ’What an amazing night thank you guys for an awesome show and for letting me take up these awesome fans time asking Leanne the biggest question ever!!!! And thank you everyone for the support i was just a little bit nervous (biggest understatement ever)’

‘Joe had reached out to us asking if he couldn’t possibly propose to his girlfriend backstage at the show and we thought we would do him one better and bring them both out on stage during the performance.

‘It was such a cool thing to witness and we wish them a lifetime of happiness.’
