Although Drake had 23 brides to keep up with in his latest video for "Falling Back," it was the wedding singer who pulled focus.

Dan Finnerty, known for his many onscreen musical cameos and being the frontman of the comedy group The Dan Band, made an appearance at Drake's fictional mass wedding in the music video from his seventh studio album Honestly, Nevermind.

The crooner offers a musical interlude in the video, singing a slowed-down version of Drake's 2009 single "Best I Ever Had." He finishes the performance in the credits reel, adding his own lyrics to the track. "Drake's f—ing you, this is my damn song," Finnerty, 52, sings in a rap.
