Weird. Poor bloke had obviously flipped his lid.

Some of the most brilliant minds are also the most tormented.

From having a quick look - he earily looks a bit like Richey Edwards (Missing Manic Street Preachers Guitarist )

I dont see why one missing person gets preferential treatment (just because he can tinkle the ivories) over any other missing person...
Same as those losers in the runaway train 'pop' video...
Call you up in the middle of the night,
playing piano music thats far from sh1te,
you were there with a job in the media,
had a feeling I'd get found a little speedier
etc...

I was thinking the same.

There's something not right about the story, almost like it's a publicity stunt or something.

I have to say, after seeing a couple of comments above about Richey Edwards, I have compared several pictures, and the likeness is uncanny

I hope it's him

...and a scar on his chest....and a few tattoss two of which saying "I'll surf this beach" and "Useless generation"

The tattoos alone should have identified him via missing persons, so they should have known who he was by now if he did have tattoos - So I guess its not him.

The fact that he can play a piano (or any other instrument for that matter) well pretty much illustrates that it is NOT Richey Edwards! A good lyricist, strong personality, entertainer, manic depressive etc. yes, great musician, no.

He must be from Eastern Europe because someone would have recognised him by now. He gets preferential treatment because it's a great story for the media.

I'm very disturbed about the confidentiality issues. Here is a vulnerable man who is having his mental state plastered across the press without his consent.

Its because he has a talent that the media have something to say about him. Surely if someone is missing someone, they go to the authorities and look through mugshots? There's probably too many to post every one in the papers and on TV.

Anyone got a picture of that ***** who keyed cars and said it was "art", and then later said it was a publicity stunt? Just curious if it's the same chap. I read the article and it is odd, but maybe a little too odd.

No wonder he's fecked up though, he's been on the Isle of Sheppy for too long

Some Polish mime artist has said he knows him and worked with him in Nice a couple of years ago, so maybe he is a mute mime artist, certainly isnt Richie.

Why yes, yes I am. When I was 7 I hid in a wardrobe for 15 minutes after realising I didnt like yoghurt with bits in. I sneaked up to my room and hid there because my mum said I couldnt leave the table until I had finished.

My mum realised I was missing, she cried, yes cried my name out in the street, searched almost everywhere in the house, yelling my name aloud...

Then as they left my room in a panic I knocked something over in the wardrobe - the door opened...

Was there a media campaign? No - I couldnt play the piano - so all I got was a smacked ar$e... Fan chiffin tastic

Turns out he was a German lad who'd tried to commit suicide.

Oh and he couldnt play the piano, just drew one on a piece of paper. So they got hold of one for him and he just tapped at a few keys.
