Despite the sweltering heat that hit Quebec City on Thursday, Rivers Cuomo took time out to do some sightseeing ahead of his band Weezer’s concert in front of 65,000 on opening night.

On his Instagram account he says he liked it. “It was perfect,” he wrote under a series of photos from his stay in the capital.
“You were fabulous (Thursday night). Each of the 65,000 local people. Thank you, I love you,” said Cuomo, who penned some of those words in French.
He then described his day of sightseeing in “this great city”.
“I took a walk by the citadel, down a nature trail and up these crazy stairs. At the end of the day I spoiled myself with a gentle cream.”
In a snap, we can see him tasting his soft cream on rue Saint-Jean, where he seems to have been able to wander around unnoticed.
