Pop star George Michael has kept his promise to a Beatles museum in Liverpool and returned the piano used by John Lennon to record the song "Imagine."
The Steinway Model Z upright piano is back on display at the Beatles Story Museum, one year after Michael paid $2 million for the 31-year-old instrument at auction, museum staff said.
The piano had been on loan to the museum before its owner decided to sell it. Michael remarked that it was "not the type of thing that should be in storage somewhere or being protected. It should be seen by people."

But after shelling out all that cash, he said he wanted to record a song with the piano for his next album. His publicist said it was unclear whether such a recording had been made.
