Peking Duk Star Trades Car for Train Amid Fuel Crisis

Australian musician Adam Hyde, a member of the electronic duo Peking Duk, recently chose public transport for a festival appearance. Hyde and bandmate Reuben Styles were observed utilizing the subway to travel to a recent gig, a decision influenced by the escalating cost of petrol, which had reached $2.40 per litre.

The duo's choice of public transit was shared via their Instagram, garnering positive reactions from fans who commended their responsible approach amidst Australia's fuel crisis. This move also comes after Hyde withdrew from a controversial performance at a major horse racing event in February, following significant backlash.

Hyde had been scheduled to perform as 'Keli Holiday' at Royal Randwick's Championships carnival. His withdrawal followed criticism, particularly from his girlfriend Abbie Chatfield's anti-racing stance, which led to accusations of hypocrisy when Hyde initially accepted the paid gig.
