The piano is now set to photographed at the US site of Martin Luther King‘s 1968 assassination in Memphis, Tennessee tomorrow (April 4), which will mark the 39th anniversary of the shooting of the civil rights leader.

George Michael said: “The selection of the site evokes a deep sense of emotion for everyone. Capturing the image of this special piano on which a song of peace was composed is part of the heartbeat of this project.”

There are plans for a tour documentary and a photo album in aid of charity, reports BBC News.
