Japanese jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita, in fireproof gear, played a piano which was set on fire in front of some 400 audience on Mar 8, 2008.
A short video showing excerpt of Yamashita’s performance (Hat tip to Pinktentacle)
Yamashita performed the stunt in Shika town, Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. His performance lasted for 10 minutes before the piano became unplayable.
Artistic or whatever… I can’t see anything remarkable about this stunt beside a waste (piano).
