George Michael was a superfan of John and the Beatles, and outbid everyone else to own the famous instrument, and it was a treasured item in his large collection until his death in 2016. With George's estate unveiling the piano to the public to mark what would have been Lennon's 80th birthday, let's take a look back at the piano's journey. When did John Lennon write 'Imagine'? John Lennon composed 'Imagine' one morning in early 1971, on a Steinway piano. He wrote it in a bedroom at his Tittenhurst Park estate in Ascot, Berkshire.

Over the years he performed covers including 'The Long and Winding Road' and 'Get Back'. He also collaborated with Paul McCartney on a number of occasions, including on a duet version of 'Heal the Pain'. QUIZ: How much of a John Lennon fan are you?

Before then, the piano had been owned by a private collector and had previously been on show at the Beatles Story Museum in their home town of Liverpool. Speaking to reporters at the time of the auction, George said that “it’s not the type of thing that should be in storage somewhere or being protected, it should be seen by people”. Where has the piano been since George bought it? George Michael later toured the piano around the world “as a symbol of peace”, and used it during the recording of his song ‘Patience’ in 2004.

From the elegant Azawakh to the reliable Golden Retriever, these are the most expensive dog breeds to bring home. Any dog will cost you some kibble. It doesn’t matter if you choose fluffy dogs, toy dog breeds, dogs that look like teddy bears, smart dog breeds, or loyal dog breeds. It all adds up—vet care, food, toys, treats, grooming, and don’t forget dog boarding and dog walking fees if you need them. Of course, there’s the initial cost of purchasing the dog too (unless you adopt a shelter dog), which is the criteria we used for this list of most expensive dog breeds. There aren’t set-in-stone prices for dog breeds, so we pawed through puppy listings across the country to come up with an average price. Speaking of puppy listings, the smartest way to avoid puppy mills is to take your time and thoroughly research the breeder, read reviews, and ask lots of questions. Several factors influence the higher price tag. The most popular dog breeds, overall popularity, and even the rarity of the breed dictate the price, as well as whether the dog comes from a high pedigree. Whatever the reason, these breeds fetch a higher price tag—and dog lovers will say they’re worth every penny!
