George Michael donates Lennon piano

The U.K. pop star is understood to have given the iconic and hugely valuable instrument away, in a gesture designed to promote world peace.

The piano, which he brought at auction, is valued at almost$3 million and was apparently used to compose a host of Lennon classics, including "Imagine."

A spokesman for Michael commented: "George's deepest wish is to imagine a world of peace, a world without violence."

A total of 33 people died at Virgina Tech in April, after Seung-Hui Cho's killing spree.
