Per his Wikipedia page: "When his wife committed suicide in 1998, Gould developed a substance abuse addiction and he eventually became homeless. It wasn’t until 2015 when he sat down at an outdoor piano in Sarasota, Florida and played ‘Come Sail Away’ by American rock band STYX that his musical talent was discovered. The performance video was recorded by a passerby and became viral overnight with tens millions of views on YouTube. A few months after the video went live Gould was given a makeover by the TV show Inside Edition and raised over $40,000 on GoFundMe to pay for his drug rehabilitation. He was also offered a full scholarship by Spring Arbor University to complete his studies. While in recovery, he was invited by the San Francisco 49ers to play at their opening game of the 2015 season against the Minnesota Vikings. On September 14, 2015, he played The Star-Spangled Banner at Levi's Stadium in front of 75,000 fans. Gould reestablished contact with his son, Donny, who had been taken away by social services at the age of three years old and adopted.

Its not just about lacking a job - he became depressed after his wife committed suicide and he became a drug addict. He needs help.
