Paul Gascoigne plays along to piano in a restaurant
The Three Lions star calls out to a man playing the piano, saying “come on mate, encore”, as he taps his fingers on the table to the rhythm of the music.
Mr Gascoigne, a recovering alcoholic, bobs his head along and and hums as he sits at a table in the posh restaurant with his model daughter Bianca.
She can be heard laughing at his reaction as the 29-year-old films the clip, which she later uploaded to her Instagram page followed by more than 40,500 people.
The England legend, who has fought a long battle against alcohol addiction and recently prompted health concerns after he appeared red-faced on stage, looks in rude health in the new video.
Wearing a white floral pattern shirt he appears in good spirits as he enjoys the piano music, sat at a table which seems to only have a couple of glasses of water on it.
The clip was released just days after the audience at one of the ex-footballer’s live gigs raised concerns when he appeared red-faced and slumped back into his chair.
There was no evidence that Mr Gascoigne had been drinking, but some fans seemed concerned over the long-term effect his addiction may have had on his health.
Phil McMurray, who went to a gig in Liverpool last week, told MailOnline: “He was shaking a lot chugging on bottles of water. He was good fun and laughed so much he struggled to keep it together.”
However, the football star’s management insisted that he is in perfectly good health and will be continuing his tour in March.
Freda Baker said: “If he wasn't fit to tour, we wouldn't be putting him out there.”
