Not 'who do you 'think' plays piano on Now I'm Here', but who actually plays it?

Go.....

This is only "thinking".....but seems Freddie was the most proficient at the piano in the band, and with that style of playing, I'd believe he was the only one suited for it.

Sebastian says it's Brian: http://web.archive.org/web/20040629134711/http://sebastian.queenconcerts.com/nih.htm
(and Freddie on Hammond)

The piano sounds quite 'loose' to me, and not Freddie's usual metronomic and precise style, so I'd go with Brian too

Brian did. He played on both NIH and DF.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Dear Friends (if DF means Dear Friends) I have no doubt. Now I'm Here makes me think this may be just be just an opinion though...

I seem to remember Brian confirmed it was him on his soapbox about a decade ago.

Neither one can be a 100% confirmed fact as we've got no footage of Brian recording them (and even if we had, it could've easily been staged).

There's enough evidence (as opposed to 'opinion', 'speculation' or 'guesswork') to soundly state that Brian played on both songs, with a very minimal margin of error... minimal enough to be outright ignored.

'Evidence' can be... erm... evidenced. I am only seeing opinions... based on 'style'...

How do we even know Queen played their own instruments?

Exactly. There's no evidence for that.

How do we know those sounds are actually instruments? There's no evidence of that either!
