JOHN LENNON BIRTHDAY CONCERT – INCLUDING TOM MORELLO & PETER FRAMPTON – AVAILABLE ON DEMAND
7th December 2021In honour of John Lennonâs legacy, StagePlayer+ invites viewers to stream âImagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concertâ starting on the 8th of December. This unforgettable show was recorded live at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in 2015 and hosted by Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award-winner Kevin Bacon.
The concert features captivating performances of Lennon classics, such as âInstant Karma! (We All Shine On)â (performed by Brandon Flowers), âMind Gamesâ (performed by Eric Church), âYouâve Got To Hide Your Love Awayâ (performed by Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Chris Stapleton), an electrified rendition of âPower to the Peopleâ (performed by Tom Morello), âHappy Xmas (War Is Over)â (performed by Aloe Blacc, Sheryl Crow and Peter Frampton) and the heart-stirring finale, âAll You Need Is Love.â Along with the stellar line-up, the concert also features very special video appearances by the remaining members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
A portion of the proceeds will directly benefit WhyHunger, a global nonprofit working to end hunger and advance the human right to nutritious food. âAs well as being one of the greatest music legends, John Lennon had a vision of a world without hunger. We therefore felt it would be a great idea to partner with WhyHunger, a charity dear to the heart of Yoko Ono Lennon. With every payment made to view this incredible concert, ÂŁ1 will be donated by StagePlayer+ to WhyHunger,â said Rich Jacobs, Chief Executive at Player+
“We know that hunger is a solvable problem and nutritious food is a basic human right. The COVID-19 pandemic has exasperated already alarmingly high rates of food insecurity around the globe making it even more important than ever to work together on transformative solutions. Our partnership with StagePlayer+ empowers us to further our mission of striking at hunger and its root causes, while paying homage to the vision that John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon shared in the iconic song ‘Imagine’,” said Noreen Springstead, Executive Director at WhyHunger.
