A grand piano played by Elvis Presley is expected to fetch at least $1 million at auction.
The white Knabe piano, which was installed at the singer’s Graceland home in Memphis, is among items at a rock and roll memorabilia sale.
The auction also features one of Presley’s most famous stage outfits, a gold and blue jumpsuit and cape worn by The King when he entertained fans at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 1972.
Presley gave the outfit to singer-songwriter Dottie Rambo as a birthday gift a year later in Las Vegas, telling her: “I know your favorite color is blue. I seldom give away a suit, but I want to do this.”
Rambo treasured the gift until her death last year and it is now expected to fetch $150,000 in an online auction by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex in New York on Monday.
Dottie Rambo’s daughter, Reba, says of the costume: “Every song he sang in it, every moment he wore it, it’s in there.”
Other items in the sale include a seventh-degree Black Belt karate card, complete with Elvis’s signature and fingerprints, worth around $10,000.
