A Bristol Bloke Is Playing Non-Stop Piano In A Park Because Of A Breakup

Breakups are hard. No two ways about it. I get that.

That being said, this has got to be the most British way imaginable to deal with one. According to the Bristol Post, a muso named Luke Howard has been forlornly playing the piano nonstop on Bristol Green to win back the love of his ex-girlfriend.

It was only a four-month relationship, but it was enough to “change his life,” according to the Post.

You might immediately assume there could be less-than-ideal reasons for why a relationship might break up that quickly, but Howard insists that’s not the case.

It wasn’t anything nasty or bad, it was just life getting in the way. If it was anything bad why we split up then I wouldn’t be doing this, but it’s the only thing I can think of doing. It just seems life just got in our way.

It may sound whimsical but she completely changed my life. My entire world shifted.

Apparently, Howard wasn’t aware that there is a large protest scheduled for Bristol Green today, but he’ll play through it anyway. “I’m just going to play. I was totally devastated and didn’t know what to do,” he said.

“The more I thought the worse it became and the only thing I could think to was play.”

Look, the more I hear from the bloke the clearer it becomes why she might have broken up with him. Also, the link to his so-called Facebook either never existed, or no longer does. Perhaps he thought better of it.

I reckon this commenter on The Mirror gets it:

If ‘Rapunzel’ sees the pathetic, emotional blackmail this moron is attempting, she should run a mile. What an absolute imbecile.

There you go.
