His tribute to the victims…

A pianist took to the streets to play a touching rendition of Imagine by John Lennon close to the Bataclan Theatre in Paris where 80 people were killed.

The song and its lyrics have been shared all over social media in the aftermath of the horrific attacks in the French capital last night.

The pianist, named David Martello, also played the piano during the Taksim Square Protests in Istanbul back in 2013 and today, he once again took his piano into the streets in his tribute to the victims.
