Kevin Bacon Sings 'Footloose' With Alexandria Police Chief (Video)

Kevin and Michael Bacon were in Alexandria for a few shows, but they made a special appearance at a Karaoke with Cops fundraiser.

ALEXANDRIA, VA — When Alexandria Police Chief Michael Brown began to sing "Footloose" Saturday night, the audience got a big surprise when the actor who starred in the iconic '80s film came up to join along.

Kevin and Michael Bacon, who formed a musical duo called the Bacon Brothers, were in town to perform a set of shows at the Birchmere. Before their Saturday night show, they joined Alexandria Police's fundraiser at noon.

Police officers belted out tunes for the Karaoke with Cops fundraiser at the Rock It Grill, benefiting the Alexandria Police Foundation. The foundation partnered with SixDegrees.org, Kevin Bacon's nonprofit to raise money to support the police department.
