Internationally acclaimed composer Lebo M is said to be devastated at the second-hand price for his grand piano.

It is alleged Lebo M was shocked to discover his estranged wife Pretty Samuels sold his multimillion-rand piano for R15,000 to a second-hand buyer.

Lebo M has been in a battle over the missing piano, and accused Pretty of misleading the public about a supposed divorce settlement.

A source close to the creator of The Lion King said the price for his piano left him brokenhearted.

“The big man (Lebo M) is devastated Pretty sold the piano for R15,000. She agreed to R15,000, which is ridiculous,” said the source. 

Another source said Lebo M became aware the piano was no longer in storage facilities when he was preparing for a concert with Grammy award-winner Hans Zimmer.

“ Pretty is playing victim. She must take accountability for her actions”, said the source.

Pretty wasn't available to comment on the matter.

Lebo M's publicist Simphiwe Majola said: “We are aware of the second-hand price for the piano. Unfortunately we can't comment as Lebo M is on his European tour. We can't speak on the matter as it is in court”.
