25 years ago today John Lennon‘s memorable white Steinway
piano that he played in the classic Imagine video clip in 1971
was auctioned.

The late great George Michael won the auction.

He paid £1.45m (1.940.591 US dollars). Michael said: “I know that when my
fingers touch the keys of that Steinway, I will feel truly blessed. And parting
with my money has never been much of a problem, just ask my accountant.”

Other bidders included Robbie Williams and the Oasis brothers.
