Monumentus Birthday For John Lennon
It was 70 years ago today when John Lennon was born, and in December it will have been 30 years since he was killed. But, to mark the event of his birthday and place a shrine for many fans to visit – the fine structure took it’s place close to where was originally born for many thousands to see well into the future.
The blobal shaped ball with birds flying over it was installed over the last few days, and unveiled by Julian Lennon and his ex-wife, Cynthia.
But, whilst all this happened in the UK – Yoko Ono was in Reykjavik, Iceland – where she and her son Sean Ono Lennon, performed on stage with Lennon’s former bandmate Ringo Starr – as the ‘Plastic Ono Band.’
And this wasn’t the only global celebrations going on to mark this event, because Central Park in New York also hosted a live outdoor event as a mark of respect, The Quarrymen who were Lennon’s first band, played a tribute to a long lost friend and fellow band member.
The statue was create by a 19 year old female artist called Lauren Voiers, who was commissioned by the Californian based agency ‘Global Peace Initialtive.’
