What a lovely gift for the people of London - now open it back up!

Eltons gift to the station he said! Not the chinese, not the police, not security, and im sure he didnt give it to be locked up and cordoned off by station security! Thank you Sir Elton John!

This piano was meant to bring joy, and it has. Sad to see how recently it has been allowed to become involved in a political situation. Let's hope that very soon it will once more be a gathering place for people to enjoy, while expressing happiness and freedom.

What a beautiful play, beautiful piano, and beautiful public piano immersion opportunity! I can’t help but cry over the video as this is just like Taiwan, my beautiful country, that has been bulled by China for the past 40+ years!

Not bad. With a little practice, he might be famous some day

I don’t care how pre-planned it was. Watching Sir John casually tap out a medley of classics (that he just happened to write) in such a setting is still a great experience.

What a beautiful gift. It is a shame that those who would take it away are succeeding in depriving us all.

We truly live in a society were a piano is being guarded... OPEN IT BACK UP.

This guy seems like a big Elton John fan . He plays all his songs really well.

“My gift to the station” The world needs more gifts like this

Now they have this piano closed off with two guards preventing people from playing it. That's why it's there! To be played!

Mr Kavanaugh was playing Elton John’s donated Public Piano at the Station the other day and some tourists called the police on him for playing the piano and people were recording on their phones just like they are here. And there are lots of people being recorded in the background. Yet no one is calling the police in this video here. Now London is banning people from playing the piano. What up with that? BTW…Sir Elton John is amazing. ThabjYiu for donating that beautiful piano the the Station a public spot. And ThankYou for your beautiful piano playing and talent.

He just increased the value of that piano by a million bucks.

Just needed that guy in the hoody to walk over and ask “do you know boogie woogie?” 😂

God bless this man who has brought so much joy to this world with his amazing musical talent. ❤

He really is a talented pianist. What a great gift he has given to the city of London.

LOVE Elton John. The last text my sister sent me before she went to heaven... was Rocketman. Not sure why she did but I now believe she was helping me with her songs at her funeral. Been a little over a year and I cry everyday. My big sister, my best friend and soulmate. Please hug and love on everyone. Don’t let a moment pass. God bless❤️🙏

Who else came here after watching Brendan Kavanagh's stream?

How the fuck are the transitions from song to song so smooth, jesus he didn't even have to pause. Legend.

He's up there with Elvis as the Greatest Of All Time. What a priviledge for those people, especially that cute little boy.

I only hear keys and music of liberty for simply being human.🎉❤Sir Elton

I’ve watched others get nearly arrested for playing a piano in a shopping centre or station! It would have been a wonder if the police had stopped by to do so! Fantastic pianist! Love Sir Elton John

One of the kindest men around .. Elton has a great heart and does beautiful art in every sense of the word. We are blessed to have him. thank you for posting

CROWD: So! Elton - what song are you gunna play? ELTON: Yes.

When you reach a legendary status and can play a montage of all your hits all in one go. Bravo, sir. What an awesome life you lived to become who you are.

Free THE PIANO!

One of my favorite performers, Candle in the wind is a classic. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Save the piano Elton, stand up for freedom ❤ love and blessings

SIR Elton John. So much joy you bring to this world through music. May you live long and prosper.

Genuine joy on faces of the audience

I love you Elton! ❤ from Canada!🇨🇦 You will always be my favourite musician in this world! 🌎 ❤😊

The crowds behind him aren’t yelling “don’t film me. You can’t film me. I can’t be in photo”. Etc

This guy is a real genius of music and he is worth every penny

And now this Piano has been arrested so no one can play it. It has been silenced. The music has ended. So sad..

This brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you for all the wonderful songs. The piano leaned against my bedroom wall so I woke up to my dad playing “ Crocodile Rock” every morning! Loved it!

Sir Elton wrote some absolutely amazing music. What a guy making this piano available to the public to bring joy to the world.

This was Elton John promoting freedom of speech and music...; and I most certainly recognized some of his work from previous times that were a statement of the times! Thank you Elton...!

Its being held against its own will, elton you need to go save your piano!!

Thanks to the soap opera of the "Chinese video", I got to see this gem!

I love this guy. Incredibly talented, incredible melody composer, great showman and example of life superation and sincerity. Luky to attend two gigs with this superstar. Very generous and polite.

Free the piano

Simply Brilliant 😍🤩 How ruddy dare they blue tape and barricade Eltons Piano (as of 22-Jan-2024) Arrest the Police chief. Eltons ring - we saw the same ring or very similar in Barbados - It's serious money for most, if its covered in authentic natural Diamonds.

I am blessed to have seen Elton John with my mother in the late 80's. First concert and I will never forget and I am a fan for life. Thank you!

Make music not war !

Let the music play.

Free the piano!!

Sadly now one of the most infamous piano's in the world. A gift to the free world by Elton John that's now embroiled in a International Privacy debacle.

Can we all just agree that the man is just a musical GENIUS! And we're just lucky to be gifted with his talent on CD, vinyl or whatever format we prefer! And those of us that were fortunate enough to see him in concert are really the fortunate ones!

Bravo, Sir Elton John. What a fabulous thing to do. Donate a piano to the station then put on a mini concert just to make sure it works! Awesome!!!!

The man could give a full concert never playing more than half of a song, and never opening his mouth, yet every person in the audience would be thoroughly entertained. Amazing.

People stopped and watched Elton John, but won’t when others are knocking it out, amazing

"Hey, can you play anything by Elton John"

"Dear what took you so long at the mall?" "Well, Sir Elton was in the center court playing piano and one doesn't simply walk out on Elton John." Fantastic, thanks Sir Elton John for making our lives better with your song.

Little did he know seven years later that the very piano became the most hated piano by the communists, and most revered by the free people. Go Brendon.

🌹Absolutely, Fabulous!🌹And about Elton's Gift 💖 to the Station.. Now Remove the Barricade, it isn't a crime scene.. It is meant to be played. Play on, Dr. K🎹🎶 All of England and America and everyone who loves Freedom is behind you!

This is what pure class looks like. What a gentleman.

I just love Elton John, he’s one of the few old time greats that still has it today. Unlike most who can’t sing their own songs anymore or warble uncontrollably. Elton, you’re ace!!

Please come back again.the piano needs your support , great hands never go away 👁❤🤓

I love it. Elton is amazing. Saw him the first time for the Yellow Brick Road tour. One of the UK’s greatest musicians ever.

He sat on my bench and sang with me when I was pianist in residence at Hotel Bel Air in 91. I didn't recognize him and gave him an autograph and said I was such a pleasure when a customer wants to sing and the actually CAN ....he'd been coming in to visit friends for a few days. They were busting a gut laughing and calling him Elton Mouse when they left ...THEN the lightbulb went on ...on ET they said that night that he'd been in town on his way to Disney World in Florida to begin work on The Lion King...... Just as well I didn't know it was him ...I'd have been playing all his music (major suck-up) it wouln't have been attractive. xoxo :)

The ring on his finger costs more than I will ever see in my life

YOUR gift to the station... apparently doesn't like it now!

Free the piano!

He with such ease switches from song to song like it is just a blink of an eye.

I saw Elton in Edinburgh in the 70 s . Superstar then and still is today. Fantastic musician loved all his stuff and had all his albumns. Immense talent.

Incredible! You can sense the recognition of each medley item in the audience. What a true master musician. 🎶⭐👍

Uff! What of Honor and a Privilege for Y'all,A free Concert from The Best of the Best,The Greatest Elton John! The world Loves You Elton John!!

I was privileged to watch him in Sydney in the mid 70s along with 50,000 other fans. He came out and played for 2.5 hours solid and we were all exhausted from dancing and singing too.

I love LOVE Elton John. One of my favorite artists.

Once upon a time children, an artist actually had to be able to play and sing and be good at it. Yes indeed

Such a beautiful thing to do. It would be such an honour for anybody to play on it. ❤

Close your eyes....Unmistakably sounds like Elton. NO one plays like him. Amazing, even on an upright...his 'tone', his....action.

He’s fantastic so blessed to have seen him in concert. One of my bucket list a was able to cross off

I love it when he starts playing the crowd fall silent. He has an incredible ability to draw in audiences wherever he is, captivating them and giving them the gift of his talent. Very few are like that.

Proof that when he plays the piano, it sounds a thousand times better than anyone else playing it

Sir Elton is a massive Legend! I really enjoy his music all of the time. He plays a brief section of song for guy which was the first song I learnt to play.

Did anyone com here after that Chinese incident that they cordoned the piano

No one knew it, but one day, this piano would be even more famous

Listening to Elton's music never never gets old. Keep on rockin!

Elton is looking very good... Great to see him out and about...

8 years later and the station now is against people playing music with this piano ....

One of the finest musicians to play the piano in our lifetime. I saw him live in 1983 at MSG.

My Second favourite performer of all times, and second only to the legend that was Freddie Mercury

hey this homeless man can really play, should go on Britain's got talent, maybe they'll make someone of him

What lovely economy of motion! There is a lot of subtlety at play. At times the base is remarkably complex. Then also many chords are played without the thumb of his right hand. Wow!

I love viewing your travels- I live vicariously through you and love seeing different places

Lovely to see David there with him also. Elton is one of only a few that have ever stood the test of time in the entertainment industry. He still fills whatever venue he plays. He hasn't had to resort to the pub/club scene as many do after 5 or 10 years. He's still going strong after 50 years.

Surprise performance. There just happened to be a cordoned piano with security guards and people queueing for no reason

His piano is now being guarded by security, because some Chinese made a fuss about being recorded during a live stream by Brendan Kavanagh 🤯🤯

Thank you Elton John for sharing your gift 😁

Marvelous. It's wonderful to see a superstar giving unselfishly of his art.

"My gift to the station, okay?" Piano goes from being an ordinary piano, to being worth more than some peoples homes in the blink of an eye.

happy xmas elton .and a happy new year

I’m just here because of Dr. K

What a Stand Up Guy, I have loved his music from the start, He is like a fine wine, He just keeps getting better with age, Love you Elton, Jim

I have loved him since my early teens, a remarkable human being, a spectacular person and brilliant musician .... inspirational in every way!

Man this would be an epic studio addition. I love medleys like this, spanning years of creativity and life's work. Not to mention all the emotion and memories attached to them. Not only for the artist, but all the fans who listen and enjoy. However short, what a ride.

And this afternoon23 January 2024) Elton’s gift to the station is cordoned off with two security guards to ensure no one plays the piano

Was makes me wonder what’s goes through his mind when he plays. What memories it brings to him.
