That kid in the background has a front row seat to genuis. He's either a good child actor- or he realizes it

He's the one musician that I'll be REALLY sad to see go. Cash hurt, Prince hurt, Bowie hurt. But Willie will HURT

As a band geek, I can assure you that Richard isn't playing. The breathing and embouchure are all wrong. And they definitely would've focused on the keys during at least some of the solo. "ACTING!" ... As one does when one is an actor.

You’re wrong, his fingers are very obviously moving the keys

Motion isn't the same as playing.

He just happens to move his fingers perfectly with how you would play this song.

He does not. Look at the opening glissando and watch his fingers. You're wrong.
