Putin blames out of tune piano for dodgy rendition in China

  • 7 years ago
Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed an impromptu piano performance he gave before meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping was ruined as the instrument was out of tune.

Putin, who was in Beijing for the One Belt, One Road conference, also admitted the embarrassing video was never meant to be released.

The footage, which saw him tentatively perform a few chords of two popular Soviet-era compositions, “Moscow Windows” and “Evening Song”, was later shared online.
