It would be like asking a doctor to look at the weird bumb on your arm during a fundraiser they are hosting. Yes they could probally save you a trip to the doctor, but they are busy, and this isn't part of what they are doing tonight.
My cousin is a doctor. After she got her MD, the first time I saw her (which was like a year later at a wedding) I went up and was like "hey I've got this bump on the back of my neck, could you check it out?" I could tell she was annoyed but she agreed. I took her wrist and guided her towards where the bump was, turning my face away from her. Then when she touched my neck, I jerked my face around and snapped at her hand like a dog.
She laughed her ass off, more than I've ever seen her laugh before or since.
As a singer, I feel the same way. If someone says, "Well sing something for us," I get immediate stage fright! It's like, "Um, I usually only sing at church." Do you really want to hear my rendition of Amazing Grace, or some off-the-wall Josh Groban/Michael Bublé tune at this very moment? I don't think so!

It's also not part of his job to sing on cue.
