Ian Anderson is a nifty character. He doesn't drink or do drugs, he never has wanted to be involved in either.
He picked up the flute, simply because no other recording artists were playing it, about 6 months before he started performing with the flute. He also plays a variety of pipes.
If you like classical music, I'm actually a classical guitar by training. Sadly, nobody pays for classical guitarists unless you're one of maybe 500 people on the planet! So, I played pretty much everything but classical music.

Ha! In your linked video, Ian got so excited his earpiece came out. That's a monitor - that's so he can hear what he actually sounds like over any ambient noises in the venue. It is also used for sound to send cues, such as to count you all into a tricky piece with sound effects and ensure you all start in unison. They usually have different channels so that they can speak to just one performer at a time or to everyone at a time.
