Lady Gaga is to splash out £300,000 on the piano she played with Sir Elton John at the Grammy Awards.
The singer is desperate to buy the instrument – designed by controversial Canadian artist Terence Koh – after she and the legendary star opened the US awards ceremony on Sunday (31.01.10), with a medley of her songs 'Poker Face’, 'Speechless’ and Elton’s 'Your Song’.
A source said: 'Terence’s artwork is confrontational and incorporates many elements that appeal to Gaga such as sex, punk and gay culture. The black piano with arms reaching out of it was beautiful and it’s no surprise she wants it, especially after giving one of the performances of her career.'

Beyonce Knowles is to make a surprise appearance at the BRIT Awards.
The 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ hitmaker was said to be too busy to fly to Britain later for the ceremony later this month but has reportedly changed her schedule in order to sing with Lady Gaga on their raunchy duet 'Telephone’.
A source close to Beyonce – whose husband Jay-Z is confirmed to be playing at the show – told the Daily Star newspaper: "At first Beyonce didn't think she could make the BRITs. But now it's looking more likely. With her husband Jay-Z also on the bill it makes sense for her not to miss out."

Amy Winehouse is going back to the Caribbean.
The 'Rehab’ singer – who spent more than six months on the island of St. Lucia last year - is flying out to Jamaica later this month but has been warned by her record label not to treat the trip as a holiday.
A source told The Sun newspaper: 'She'll fly out next week. She is really excited about going back because she loves the Caribbean so much.
"But she's been told it's not a party. She has to work."
