Thank you, how can they say it was a hoax, he was obviously ill

[shadytree]

Thought he was called the Piano man because he could draw detailed sketches of violins

[jonna_rex]

Yep, he is ill so the HOAX thing was uncalled for in my opinion.

Methinks the 'experts' that crawled out of the woodwork with all their hypothetical diagnosis of the bloke showed themselves up to be even more mental.....

They hadn't ever met the bloke yet alone see him....crazy

[jonna_rex]

People love a good mystery dont they?

[andy mac]

No doubt he'll make a fortune with a film script now!

Quotes from various areas of BBC News:

"social worker Michael Camp said he seemed to "come alive" when playing the piano, for several hours at a time"

"stunned health and social workers with his performance at the keyboard"

Yet he was only pressing one key!!!!!!!!!!!

Confirms everything I've ever believed about social workers - absolute waste of space.

The poor guy obviously needs help, instead of being turned into a circus side show. I'm glad he's back with his family, and suspect that those in the media who are complaining about him being a cheat are actually embarrassed at being taken in so easily.
