PEACE TOWER LIT TO MARK ONO’S BIRTHDAY
A tower of light, built in JOHN LENNON’s memory, has been illuminated in Iceland - to mark his widow YOKO ONO’s 76th birthday.
Ono unveiled the Imagine Peace Tower in 2007. It beams a bright light high into the sky from Lennon’s birthday on 9 October through to the 8 December anniversary of his murder in 1980.
The powerful torch - fuelled by Iceland’s geothermic energy supply - has been lit eight months early in 2009 to celebrate Ono’s birthday on Wednesday (18Feb09). It will shine from sunset to dawn.
The artist/musician revealed the tribute on her Twitter blog, telling fans, "Thank you for all your beautiful birthday messages. IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is alight."
