An upright grand piano John Lennon used when recording his 1971 Imagine album has been put up for sale at at £189,000. Said to be used by the former Beatle just hours before being shot on 8 December 1980, it has also been played artists such as Don Mclean and Bob Dylan.
The company selling the piano, Moments in Time is also selling the album Lennon signed for his killer Mark Chapman and a signature he penned for one of the studio’s staff, which is believed to be the last thing he wrote.

Courtney Love has spoken out over a new Doc Martens advert she didn’t give permission for, showing her late husband Kurt Cobain wearing the shoes in heaven. She said the ad campaign, by Saatchi & Saatchi, as ‘despicable’. In the advert the Nirvana singer is wearing Doc Martens whilst sitting on a cloud with the tagline ‘Dr Martens Forever’.
The CEO of Dr Martens parent company Airwear, said the company had not commissioned the series of ads which also features the Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious, Joey Ramone and The Clash frontman Joe Strummer and was quick to apologise, and said they had terminated their contract with Saatchi.
