Nine-time Grammy Award-winning songstress Alicia Keys’ son, Egypt Dean, recently shocked audience members at a concert in Germany with a stellar piano performance.
According to reports, 11-year-old Egypt, whom Alicia shares with her Grammy Award-winning husband Swizz Beatz, played the piano at The Alicia + Keys World Tour concert on June 23. The show took place at SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany.
