Probably because it was set up for precisely that reason!

Not really a surprise, as noted this was a stunt.

I've never heard of Mr. Legend before and that performance certainly didn't seem legendary to me! Also, the piano seems too glossy to be a standard St. Pancras street piano.

Now, if you want to see a real legend play a real street piano at St. Pancras (complete with missing key tops and bum notes) then try...

I admit that this is also a setup of sorts. You may not like the music but there's no doubting the level of skill and virtuosity involved.

Why is it good PR? What`s so good about it. People using trains has nothing to do with some bloke on a piano. Just publicity for him.

The piano at Brighton has a few good tinklers too,

How can you not have heard of John Legend?

 

[Jonfun]

The name rings a bell, but I to be fair I couldn't tell you any of his songs or even what decade he was from.

How can you not have heard of John Legend?

I couldn't tell you who any of the current top 10 in the charts are. Doesn't interest me.

I don't think anyone claimed that performance was legendary.
