Of all the songs YOKO ONO has written over the course of her career, she is most proud of WALKING ON THIN ICE - because her late husband JOHN LENNON was carrying a demo of it in his pocket when he was murdered.
Ex-BEATLE Lennon repeatedly listened to Walking On Thin Ice in the days leading up to his assassination by MARK DAVID CHAPMAN in New York City in December 1980.
Ono says, "We were totally excited by Walking On Thin Ice and John was listening to it over and over again that weekend.
"John was carrying the cassette when he passed away. It was the last thing we did note-by-note together."

Reality TV star SHARON OSBOURNE compared the loss of her family jewellery three years ago (04) to that of a member of a family dying.
A burglar broke into her Buckinghamshire, England mansion that she shares with rock star husband OZZY OSBOURNE and stole items including Sharon’s diamond wedding bands, a 24-carat sapphire ring, and expensive watches.
And the loss proved too much for Sharon.
She told psychiatrist DR PAMELA STEPHENSON on UK TV show SHRINK RAP, "When my ring, my jewellery was stolen. It was like a bereavement.
"And when I would think about it, I would literally get a pain in my chest.
It took me so long before I went ‘this is insane, it’s only money and objects.’"

Hollywood veteran MARTIN SHEEN was born with a handicap that left his father fearing he would never be able to work.
The WEST WING star, who received a police citation on Sunday (01APR07) for his involvement in an anti-nuclear protest in Nevada, had his shoulder crushed by forceps after his birth proved too difficult for normal delivery.
The 66-year-old actor tells Empire magazine, "I was a difficult birth and nearly died, I’m told, and they used forceps to pull me out into the world and they crushed my left shoulder, so officially I’m handicapped because I have no lateral movement in my left arm.
"So my dad kind of looked at me with an old world perspective, that I couldn’t make a living doing manual labour so I would have to have an education."

Director JOE CARNAHAN is still bitter he didn’t get to finish his work on Hollywood blockbuster MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, because he believes his version would have been far superior.
The SMOKIN’ ACES filmmaker spent 15 months working on the movie before quitting over creative differences with studio bosses.
Last year’s (06) action epic starred TOM CRUISE and was directed by JJ ABRAMS, but was radically different from Carnahan’s vision.
And Carnahan regrets that cinema goers never got to see his version.
He says, "Were we going to do something that would have kicked the s**t out of the movie they wound up doing? "Absolutely. I’m not even going to shy away from that. I know the film we made was going to be better because I thought it was important. And the movie we were making was about private military and what’s going on in Africa.
"I had KENNETH BRANAGH playing a guy who’s based on TIMOTHY VEIGH. And I think the cast that we had - Ken, CARRIE-ANNE MOSS, SCARLETT JOHANSSON - that’s the biggest heartbreak for me because I saw how amazing they would have been.
"If you would have seen Carrie-Anne Moss move with a handgun after a month and a half, it would have blown your mind.
"And we had flat-out the two best mask reveals in the franchise history. Like those mask pulls dealt with major plot stuff. They weren’t just these cartoony things."

chicks.’ And I said, ‘OK, so what do you want in the video?’ And they said ‘Uhhh… models?’ "But I think the whole rock video thing is overdone, and I wanted to show that the band still have that raw edge playing as a band."

Singer MACY GRAY was offended when music mogul CLIVE DAVIS asked her to record an audition tape after selling millions of albums.
The I TRY star, 39, left Sony Records in 2004 after lacklustre sales of her third album THE TROUBLE WITH BEING MYSELF, although her debut disc I Try had sold three million copies in the US.
Gray quickly looked around for a new record deal and approached J Records head Davis, who also acts as Chairman and CEO of BMG North America.
She says, "I had it in my head, ‘I’m Macy Gray, everyone’s going to be banging on my door,’ and that didn’t happen at all.
"I’d watch those VH1 one-hit wonder shows and I got really bad about that.
"I think Clive Davis asked me to send him a demo tape, which was, like, really insulting. Go to the record store, do you know what I mean? I was like, why don’t I call him and ask for his resume?"

Cult rockers THE CRIBS have begged witnesses to come forward after some of their equipment was stolen following a recent gig in Glasgow, Scotland.
The British band of brothers were horrified to discover "a Rogers vintage snare drum in a 2-tone blue burst finish" among other kit had gone missing after they finished playing at The Admiral pub.
Group member GARY JARMAN writes online: "We don’t care about the mic, although it’s still not cool to nick stuff like that off a band touring on a really small budget, but we are really bummed out about the snare drum. It has a lot of sentimental value.
"We know that it went missing from inside the venue after the club checked the CCTV, and there was only 200 people in the club, so someone must know something about it.
"We want it back! We are appealing that anyone who knows anything about it.
We would be very grateful and will probably sort some kind of reward out if and when we get it back.
"I don’t like getting heavy with people, but we know that someone in our crowd took the snare… and it meant a lot to Ross (JARMAN), (who) can’t replace it."

RAZORLIGHT frontman JOHNNY BORRELL decided to start taking heroin "for the f**k of it".
The AMERICA singer took the illegal drug in the late ’90s because all his friends were - and his resulting habit ended up costing him his place as bass player in then up-and-coming rockers SERAFIN.
Borrell, who has been clean for years, says, "I had a pocket in my jacket with all my drugs in - coke, heroin, pills. I was more excited about the next hit in the toilets than the bass line I was playing.
"It was cool and dangerous and because a lot of my friends didn’t have the guts to do it. I went round to a friend’s house… Everyone was smoking heroin.
"I thought, ‘I really shouldn’t do this.’ But I did. For the f**k of it."

Rapper THE GAME has blasted his former G-UNIT bandmate TONY YAYO for his alleged attack on a teenage boy.
Tony Yayo - real name MARVIN BERNARD - was arrested on 24 March (07) for reportedly attacking 14-year-old JAMES ROSEMOND, son of Czar Entertainment head JIMMY ‘HENCHMAN’ ROSEMOND, on a New York City street on 20 March (07).
The Game, who quit G-Unit in late 2004, is managed by Rosemond’s Czar Entertainment.
In a new ‘diss’ track, The Game berates Tony Yayo for the alleged attack, and also criticises his former mentor 50 CENT, who Rosemond claims encouraged the assault.
The Game raps, "What kind of bitch n**ger put his hands on kids (Homo!)/ Pull up that black van on his (No!)/ We don’t do the kid slappin’; we do the kid snatchin’/ Eyewitness news, it’s been a kidnappin’. Nah, we don’t get down like that/ But 50’s mama we’ll put you in the ground like that (Curtis!)." Directing some verses toward 50 Cent, The Game raps, "It’s on now, better call Dr. Ben and Russell/ Set up a peace treaty, or go get some muscle/ Call them Lighty brothers, call all your little flunkies/ Call the snitch hotline and get the G-Unit monkeys/ Call the cops, I’m still a hundred miles and runnin’/ Then call God, and tell him that yo’ ass is comin." Tony Yayo has been released on $5,000 (£2,564) bail and returns to court on 25 April (07).

Charles posed in his comfortable get-up ahead of an interview with BBC Radio 4’s ‘Gardeners’ Question Time’, marking the show’s 60th anniversary. The prince often dons his camel-coloured wool coat - believed to have been a gift from Pakistan - for time pottering in the garden. In the interview, to be aired on Easter Sunday (08.04.07), listeners will hear the royal share his gardening tips with horticultural experts. Charles told the show’s chairman Eric Robson that his love of gardening went back to when he was a boy and he shared a vegetable patch with sister Princess Anne in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
Charles slammed EU rules restricting the sale of historical varieties of seed, enforced to ensure customers do not get plants that aren’t uniform. The prince said: ‘What could be crazier than reducing ourselves to far too few varieties and finding, at the end of the day, that maybe they are then more subject to disease and complications? ‘What could be crazier than having the kind of EU legislation which made it impossible to sell the seeds of many of these wonderful old varieties that people have developed over thousands of years?’ The 58-year-old royal - a keen organic farmer - is reported to have spent £500,000 on the gardens at his Gloucestershire country home Highgrove. Taking the chance to wish ‘Gardeners’ Question Time’ a ‘happy birthday’, Charles said the programme provided many people with ‘endless useful information’. Eric described the prince as having ‘a real passion that would strike a chord with thousands of gardeners up and down the country’.

The prince has come under fire from environmentalists for flying from Lyneham to Aberdeen last Friday (30.03.07), rather than travelling by land.
However, sources say the prince took the decision because he wanted his wife - who is recovering from a recent hysterectomy - to travel in the most comfort.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: ‘Although Camilla cancelled all her engagements and expected she would have recovered completely by now, she hasn’t really bounced back.
‘Nearly a month after her operation, she is not really feeling herself yet and is still feeling weak.
‘Despite the stinging criticism and accusations of having double standards, Charles just wasn’t prepared to take any chances when it came to Camilla’s health.’ Among the royal couple’s entourage was a nurse who will care for Camilla during their stay at Birkhall, the Queen Mother’s former country house near Balmoral.
Charles - who campaigns about the dangers of climate change - has been accused of hypocrisy for flying the 500-mile between his Gloucestershire home Highgrove and the Scottish Highlands, which added around 15,000kg to his carbon footprint.
But sources say he felt he had no choice, as he did not want Camilla to suffer the discomfort of making the journey by car, which would only have created carbon emissions of 180kg per passenger.
He is also rejected a scheduled flight, which would have resulted in emissions of 435kg per person, for the same reason.
The duchess underwent her hysterectomy at the London’s King Edward VII Hospital for Officers last month before moving to Clarence House for a period of recuperation.

They are consulting their lawyers over an abusive site set up by the Kansas-based sect of fundamentalist Christians, whose bizarre beliefs recently featured in a BBC documentary with Louis Theroux.
The church set up a ‘God hates Sweden’ website after a Swedish pastor was convicted for inciting hatred against homosexuals two years ago.
The site celebrates the deaths of Swedes and brands King Carl XVI Gustaf ‘King of Sodomite Whores’.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of the church’s founder, said: ‘They say they have human rights in Sweden. You can be any sort of filthy pervert but you cannot preach what the scriptures say.’ Nina Eldh, a spokeswoman for Sweden’s Royal Court, said they were considering taking action under Swedish hate crime laws, but admitted they might have a problem because it was an international website. She told Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: ‘We have reacted through lawyers saying this is a crime under Swedish law.’ King Carl XVI Gustaf has taken legal action against the media several times, most recently over the internet publication of pictures showing his daughter Princess Madeleine in a revealing dress. The Topeka church is run by founder Fred Phelps and has around 70 members, most of them family. They have become notorious in America over the last 15 years for celebrating the deaths of ’sinners’. They claim US soldiers are dying in Iraq because the country gives rights to homosexuals, and often picket dead soldiers’ funerals with celebratory placards.

The 22-year-old Army officer flew to the Caribbean to enjoy a romantic break with his Zimbabwean girlfriend Chelsy Davy on Monday (02.04.07).
Harry - who travels to the war-torn country next month - has rented a £20,000 five-bedroom villa to make the trip extra special.
Chelsy, 21, has not seen her royal boyfriend since February when the pair partied in London before she embarked on her six-month world tour.
A friend told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: ‘Chelsy has been counting the days to see Harry. He has been busy preparing for war since Chelsy left 10 weeks ago.
‘She was so pleased when Harry said he would fly out to join her in the Caribbean.
‘It way the only way they were going to see each other before he goes to Iraq.’ The couple - who are staying just yards from the sandy beach - are reportedly planning to watch some of the World Cup cricket matches being staged in the Caribbean.
Harry is on three-weeks leave from the Army ahead of his posting with his Blues and Royals regiment.
