Homeless man filmed playing piano at a shelter comes forward
- 9 days ago
A homeless man captured on video playing piano at a church after a ''particularly bad night'' on the streets has revealed his identity.
Rhys Wynne-Jones, 32, had sought refuge at a volunteer organisation in Penzance in Cornwall during a freezing January evening.
After entering St. Mary's Church and speaking with NightChurch volunteers Rhys turned to his lifelong coping mechanism - music.
He began playing a rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody - with volunteers and visitors alike gathering to watch the display.
A volunteer posted a video of the performance on Facebook, and the video quickly spread, amassing over 10,000 views.
Awestruck commenters had one question on their minds - who is this man?
And Rhys has now come forward - and is to play a special charity gig.
