Elton John surprised travellers and commuters at London's St. Pancras station this afternoon, when he played the piano for passers by.
There's been a piano at the station for several years, which anyone who passes through can play. Today though (4 February), Elton John brought his own piano, performed to surrprised spectators, and then donated it to the station.
He didn't sing - probably because he didn't have a microphone - but he did blast through the recognisable piano riffs of lots of his biggest hits.
