Cool, but not new: Keith Emerson was doing this over 40 years ago.
Keith Emerson destroyed a Rachmaninoff prelude in a live concert doing this (although he wasn’t content being just suspended and did aerial somersaults as well) already in the 70s: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uSm5IQFaTZA

Little desperate for attention?
Perfect accompanist for the singer in this video. Let’s all stand on our heads to enjoy the performance:
