The fan went even further by trying to take pictures. “He then proceeded to reach over the piano and try to take pictures, completely disrupting the performance,” John said. “I bring fans onstage every performance when we play ‘Saturday Night’ in the set, it is always a lovely part of the show where I get to meet them, shake their hands and have them right there with me while I play.
