Elton John's surprise station performance

Musician Elton John stunned travellers at London's St Pancras International station with a surprise piano performance this afternoon.

The "Rocket Man" singer has donated a piano to the station and made sure to "christen" the instrument with a brief instrumental appearance on the concourse, reported Guardian.

After playing the piano, the 68-year-old star left a note written on it which read: "Enjoy this piano. It's a gift. Love, Elton John."

John later posted a photo of his surprise appearance on his Instagram page.

Alongside the picture, which showed him surrounded by onlookers as he played, he wrote: "Surprise!! I popped into St Pancras International to christen the Yamaha piano which I donated to the station. Now everyone can have a play."
 

He then shared a close-up picture of his note on the instrument, alongside a quote referencing the lyrics to his track 'Your Song'.
