In the heart of Venice, amidst the labyrinthine canals and sun-drenched piazzas, David Gilmour's ear was caught by the ethereal tones of a glass harp. A humble street musician coaxed haunting melodies from the delicate instruments, and Gilmour, utterly spellbound, found himself drawn in. After the performance, he approached the artist, a spark of inspiration clearly ignited. Gesturing towards the monumental stage being prepared for his concert in St Mark's Square the next evening, he posed an extraordinary question: "How would you like to join us tomorrow night? To play right there, on that stage?" The musician, understandably stunned, hesitated, seeking confirmation of the seemingly impossible invitation. Gilmour, with a warm smile, reassured him, offering not just a platform, but fair compensation for his artistry. The street musician, finally grasping the magnitude of the moment, could only reply, "That's an incredible proposition." And thus, a fleeting encounter transformed into a once-in-a-lifetime performance, as he shared the stage with a legend, before a sea of eager faces. Watch the video in the comments below 👇
