Your support makes all the difference.That's one way to brighten up the commute, certainly. Sir Elton John caused an early morning stir by turning up to London's St. Pancras International station for a surprise performance.
Onlookers were shocked and delighted when the musical icon set up shop in the middle of the station concourse, performing a piano medley on the instrument which had been rolled into the place for the performance. John completed the impromptu gig by signing the piano with the note, "Enjoy this piano. It's a gift. Love, Elton John."
The donation coincides with the release of his most recent album Wonderful Crazy Night, the 32nd studio album by the musical icon, now made available.
