George Michael was the benefactor who paid an unknown collector £1.45m (1.75m USD) for John Lennon’s Steinway Z1 upright piano in 2000. This was so it could remain in the UK, and not be sold to the Far East, or hidden away in storage.
The piano, a standard Steinway production model, was the instrument on which Lennon famously composed “Imagine” in early 1971.
