Saturday, October 9, would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday. In honour of that Yoko Ono and EMI Music have partnered with YouTube for global tributes honoring the music legend and former Beatle.
YouTube is honouring Lennon with a homepage spotlight starting at 9pm PT on Friday, October 8th and staying active for 24 hours.
Video testimonials from many of Lennon’s famous friends and fans, including Aerosmith, Bret Michaels, Brian Wilson, David Gray, DMC (Run-DMC) Jeff Bridges, the Jonas Brothers, Ringo Starr and Tony Hawk will be included in YouTube's homepage spotlight.
"I hope you’ll join me and a family of peace around the world to celebrate this very special day,” said Yoko in a statement. "Send in your own video tribute to YouTube, and we will share in keeping John’s memory alive."
Ono and EMI are also releasing the global John Lennon "Gimme Some Truth" catalogue campaign.
"Featured in the sweeping initiative are eight remastered John Lennon solo albums and new titles including Double Fantasy Stripped Down, Power To The People: The Hits, Gimme Some Truth, and the John Lennon Signature Box."
This is the first time Lennon's classic solo albums and other standout recordings have been digitally remastered from his original mixes.
The deluxe 11CD and digital John Lennon Signature Box includes 13 previously unreleased home recordings, and Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, and Julian Lennon have each written personal essays for the lavish collection.
Now, let's remember John Lennon with some videos.
