Since the famous Beatle, John Lennon, was murdered in 1980, his legacy of music, in particular the world renowned song for peace, ‘Imagine’, has been highly sought after by numerous charities and various campaigns, but Yoko Ono has kept it well guarded, until now.

The Amnesty International people brought this proposal to me and I responded very quickly because I had been doing some projects with them before that, and had a very good feeling about them.

The proceeds from the song’s releaseare to benefit an Amnesty International project, raising money for a 3 year human rights education campaign and relieving the situation in Sudan.
