The New York home where the late David Bowie once lived with his wife Iman has hit the market for $6.5 million - and it comes complete with the rock icon's Yamaha piano.

Bowie and his wife lived in the three-bedroom pad in Midtown's famed Essex House building for a decade before they sold it in 2002.

His piano - undoubtedly a piece of rock history - is included in the million dollar price tag and has been handed down with the apartment in past sales.

When Bowie and his wife lived in the apartment from 1992-2002, they converted the master bedroom into a panic room in case a fan broke in. The bedroom has since been restored but heavy bolts (above) can still be seen on the doors. It also has a dressing room built especially for Iman

Traces of the famous couple still remain in the apartment, including a dressing room off the master bedroom that was built for Iman and shelves in the living room that are hidden behind moving walls. 

When they lived in the apartment from 1992-2002, the couple converted the master bedroom into a panic room in the event that a crazed fan was able to break in.

While the master bedroom has since been restored, heavy bolts can still be seen on the inside of the doors.

The 1,877 square feet apartment has 2.5 bathrooms made of custom marble, porcelain and limestone
