Video: Paris pianist Davide Martello plays Imagine at Jo Cox memorial in Birstall
THE pianist who performed John Lennon's Imagine outside the Bataclan Theatre in tribute to the victims of last November's Paris attacks has repeated the impromptu performance in West Yorkshire, in memory of MP Jo Cox.
Davide Martello said he brought his piano to the memorial in Birstall where Mrs Cox was killed, because he “wanted to give a contribution for peace”.
The German musician added: “Unity is very important all over the world.
