Yoko Ono John Lennon 70th Birthday Tribute

On Saturday, Yoko Ono paid tearful tribute to her husband, late music icon John Lennon, on what would have been The Beatles star’s 70th birthday.

In 1980, Lennon was gunned down by stalker fan Mark David Chapman in front of Manhattan’s The Dakota Apartment Building, where he shared a home with Yoko and their then six-year-old son Sean. Ono and Sean, who shared his 35th birthday with his father, performed as the Plastic Ono Band in Reykjavik, Iceland, where they were joined on stage by former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, before leading the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” to him.
