Upon hearing about the harrowing events in Paris, the musician grabbed his piano and transported it 400-miles to Paris. “I phoned my friend to talk about it, got in the car and drove all through the night,” he told The Guardian.
“I just knew I had to do something.”
“I wanted to be there to try to comfort, and offer a sign of hope.”
