Lennon's Sons to Perform Together NYC
AP
John Lennon and son Julian, 1968.
Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon, the sons of John Lennon, are finally
going to perform together in public.
Sources tell me that the Lennon boys have agreed to appear at a United
Nations event here in New York on February 26th called the UN-Millenium
Goal Awards. Other artists tentatively scheduled to appear include Jon
Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, as well as possibly Akon and Macy Gray.
The show is the brainchild of Rhodesian Sacha Stone, founder in 1999 of
the Humanitad Foundation. Stone, who lives in the UK now, is said to
have relationships with all involved and convinced the Lennons to come
aboard. This would mean putting aside differences between the two former
Lennon households.
When John Lennon was murdered in 1980, a rift grew because Sean’s mom,
Yoko Ono, wouldn’t give Julian what he and his mom, Cynthia Lennon,
considered a fair share of the estate. Julian Lennon wound up engaging
lawyers, and a long legal situation followed. In May 2007 Julian told
Howard Stern that he still hadn’t gotten any money from Yoko Ono.
Unbelievable.
Over the years, there’s been plenty of animosity, mostly fueled by Ono.
At a 2001 tribute to Lennon at Radio City Music Hall, she all but wiped
out any reference to the Beatle’s first family. When Cirque du Soleil’s
"Love" show opened in Las Vegas a few years ago, the severe Ono kept her
distance from the amiable Cynthia and Julian. Sean was a no-show.
More recently, though, the two brothers have found more common ground,
with Julian surprising Sean in Prague at a 2007 gig. Ironically, the
brothers could not be more alike: soft spoken, friendly, and talented.
Julian, of course, had success in his 20s with hits like "Valotte" and
"Too Late for Goodbyes" in 1984-85. Sean has released a couple of indie
albums and one on his dad’s old label, Capitol.
By the way, the MDG Awards will not be open to the hoi polloi. The
Lennons will play in front of 3,000 invited guests inside the UN General
Assembly Hall.

Re: Lennon's Sons to Perform Together NYC
I have an informant
LOL
and receive lots of rumours
Nidhi Sharma - Celebrity News Service Reporter
London, England (CNS) - John Lennon's son Julian Lennon has rubbished rumors that he and his half-brother, Sean, will perform together at a United Nations event next month.
The speculation about the duo performance started on Thursday when Fox News columnist Roger Friedman reported that the two would take the stage at the UN Millennium Goal Awards on February 26. The brothers have never performed together in public.
However, the junior Lennon has lashed out at Friedman on his MySpace blog saying that the "news today about Sean & I playing together at the UN Awards came directly out of Roger Friedman's ass!"

Re: Lennon's Sons to Perform Together NYC
And whom else? Certainly, guys!
But the question seems irrelevant.
