George Michael has donated John Lennon's piano to the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre, it has been confirmed.

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.
