Tom Brier update 2020

[@ErikCPianoman]

Glad to hear Tom is finally out of the nursing home and getting the physical therapy he needs. Tom was, is and will continue to be an inspiration to pianists/musicians everywhere. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.

Tom is literally the cause of me starting to play the piano. So literal that after watching Maple Leaf Rag video of his, the piece became the first piece I ever learned on piano. Granted, I did have piano lessons for a time when I was a kid (as in like 5 yr old..) and always kept a guitar around me, never being a stranger to music theory, Tom's video was the real kickstarter. My only wish is that he gets better and plays some more Joplin like noone ever did. And who knows, may be a piece from Chopin? Oh please come back...

@Tom he was rear ended, shoving him into another car, so basically he was sandwiched between two cars. The fact that he survived just shows what an absolute legend he is.

I'm thrilled to hear Tom has improved. The last update had me worried. I'm a medschool dropout (money issues) so, I know how devastating and lifelong brain injuries are. It's tempting to think he will recover one day, but the truth is, the neurons that make up your brain just don't heal or regrow when they're damaged. The only improvement comes from your brainnliterally rewiring itself around the damaged section. But, with hard work, 30 hours a week of therapy and the determination I KNOW yhat Tom has. He WILL make the rest recovery possible for his situation. Of thay I have zero doubt. He's a strong man.

We love Tom Brier♥️

[@thames21]

I’ve cried for Tom as I can not even begin to fathom how much of a hell it must be to be trapped in a disfunctional body when you are such a great artist. I really hope he’s doing much better now 2 years on. Much love!

Sending love an courage from France. He is/was one of them who inspirate me and a lot of pianists all around the world. Thanks to him and thanks for all of these beautiful moments in video. I wish you the best for the future.

I was 85% certain "moved to" was going to be followed by Hospice bc of my impression of the deterioration in the nursing home.. but 100% glad the opposite was what came up!

Tom's videos inspired me to try learning ragtime piano amidst this pandemic. It's given me a whole lot more respect for him! Really glad to hear progress is being made, and I wish him and his loved ones all the best.

I wonder how much music Tom has thought up since and unable to play yet alone write out?.. He is one of the greatest musical masterminds of our time. I really hope the best for him and greater recovery to come. I sure miss his playing..

[@anthonyzuniga725]

I’ve had Covid these past weeks and Tom’s music has definitely helped me recover. I hope he recovers fully and gets back on the keys. Seeing how happy it makes him is an inspiration enough for musicians and music lovers worldwide. Much love, Tom. We love and support you.

How is Tom doing as of September 2022? I hope he is doing well. Its been a long time since I checked up on this channel.

[@Keeper1st]

About the same from what I gather. In January of 2021 he went under the care of his parents where he remains.

@@Keeper1st Thank you for this info :)

@@Keeper1st hi. I didn't come across him till late. Is he playing the piano yet?

[@Keeper1st]

@@ciararespect4296 Not beyond the simple left-hand stuff seen in the video from his 2019 birthday party (see channel's Community tab).

[@sellerspiano9811]

@@Keeper1st how is his speech? In the 2019 video you siad he could only say yes and no. Has that improved at all?

[@tyranids4ever]

Glad Tom has been able to move forward with his treatment. Wishing him all the best.
