Details are still coming in, but there are fears that a piano once owned by the flamboyant ivory-tickler Liberace has been damaged in a roof collapse due to the snowstorm blanketing New England.
The rhinestone-covered piano is housed in the Piano Mill, a piano showroom in Rockland, Mass. A portion of the showroom's roof has collapsed, but it's unclear whether the Liberace piano was damaged; no one is being allowed inside until the structure has been assessed for safety.
Fortunately, Liberace won't need any IRL instruments for his upcoming tour, in which the late superstar will appear in the form of a hologram.
