Sir Elton John stunned travellers with a surprise performance at a London train station over night.

The ‘Rocket Man‘ Sir Elton John, ‘Sacrificed‘ some his time early this morning (or this afternoon for those in London) to sing some ‘Crocodile Rock’ to London commuters at St Pancras International station.

The musical legend donated a piano to St. Pancras railway station and made sure to christen it with a brief instrumental appearance on the concourse. After playing the piano, the 68-year-old star left a note written on it which read: “Enjoy this piano. It’s a gift. Love, Elton John.”

Elton later posted a photo of his surprise appearance on his Instagram page.

Alongside the picture, which showed him surrounded by onlookers as he played, he wrote:

“Surprise!! I popped into St Pancras International to christen the Yamaha piano which I donated to the station. Now everyone can have a play.”

He then shared a close-up picture of his note on the instrument, alongside a quote referencing the lyrics to his track ‘Your Song’.

He wrote: “My gift is my song and this piano’s for you.”

The famous London train station – which has had pianos on the concourse since 2009 – later tweeted their gratitude.

A staff member wrote: “A wonderful gift from an incredible musician and absolute legend – thank you @eltonofficial! (sic)”

Meanwhile, the ‘Candle in the Wind’ hitmaker hopes his gift will find his musical successor.

He joked:

“I’ve heard so much about the pianos in St Pancras and thought it was such a great idea.

“I appreciate that the pianos in the station have had to be retuned and repaired a lot, so I thought it would be a good idea to give the station a new one.

“Who knows, maybe there’s a new Elton amongst London commuters?”
