12-Yr-Old Impresses Crowd With Tricky Song Request

Feb 01, 2020 by apost team

In London's St. Pancras International Station, where thousands of travelers pass through each day, a lone piano sits. Anyone who wants to play it is able to do so.

While many of the players who attempt to entertain travelers might give it their best, few are as talented as Cole Lam, aged 12, who wowed the busy crowd with a hit by Queen. 

Just as Cole is sitting down to play, a man interrupts him. The man requests "Bohemian Rhapsody," the legendary Queen song.

What happened next shocked everyone and was thankfully caught on camera. The boy began to play the iconic song, but he didn't merely plink through the notes. Instead, he began to play the song so skillfully that if you closed your eyes, you'd swear it was a grown adult with years of experience sitting behind the piano.

As the boy played, it was obvious to anyone who passed by that he was playing with his whole heart and soul. He closed his eyes and put his whole body into his performance. 

Thankfully, the video of this beautiful moment was uploaded to the internet by the pianist himself. Cole isn't just a pianist, he's also an accomplished singer and songwriter.

And the piano at the station was actually donated by Sir Elton John!

We think that if enough people see this story, perhaps Elton can reach out to this young talent and help to nurture this gifted young performer's career. Make sure that everyone sees this story so that this young man can get the recognition that he deserves.
