Buble, 50, is best known for his Christmas song which blast out every year during the festive period.

One posted: “They defrosted Michael Buble earlier this year.”
A second wrote: “I don’t understand why Michael Bublé is singing this particular song at this particular time.”
A third commented: “Ok. Buble is bringing it.”

Another added: “Michael Buble what are you doing here??”
Buble was not the only well-known singer to perform before kick-off between Canada and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Alanis Morissette – who became a cultural phenomenon in the 1990s – was also on stage.
Nearly £75million was invested as part of the massive renovation project that added 17,000 temporary seats to the structure.
