Who is the mysterious Piano Man?

[PhiLLer]

This is one strange story.
Cops found some guy in a soaked suit walking around Kent. He hasn't said a word, he doesn't speak but he can play the piano like nobody's business.
Sounds like something out of a movie.

Sounds like an attention whore looking for fifthteen minutes of fame.

Seriously though, odd story.

 

[::shinji::]

must be related to the pinball wizard..

"Hello, I'm John Elton"

He looks a bit like Thom Yorke, actually. But with a straighter face. I reckon he had a mentally crippling encounter with Pirates.

Probably a refugee or asylum speaker that doesn't know a bit of English so he can't even be bothered to attempt to communicate with anybody.

 

[Vagegast]

I bet he's just scared.

 

[TOON ARMY]

Maybe he was on his way home one night after a piano concert and walked into a lamp post?

 

[Filipower]

nice

probley lost a bet.

They had a column bout it in the paper all the way here. Pretty queer story. I reckon the guy must've fallen off a boat & bumped his head. & all he has left are some piano skills. Interesting nonetheless. :chew:

Apparently he may be a street musician from France LINK. Wierd story though.

 

[Shindig]

Sounds fun, that.

"Well, Pierre, you've missed the last Eurostar for today"
"Bugger, I'll swim it."

 

[Kulixs]

The picture he drew of the grand piano is quite good.

 

[Joe Star]

I bet someone will make a movie outta this......or is it already made??

 

[Tom]

Dave Gorman on the Wright Stuff says someone in Canada now thinks that he was there a while back too.

TROD.

 

[Torontolynx]

Awfully odd. (???). But i've seen a few weird things myself.

When you look down, isn't it.

Anyway aparently the French lead turned out to be a stub as well, aparently they tracked the real street musician down. So the story continues........

 

[NASTY PASTY]

Turns out the Piano Man was German, and he's gone home.
