On John Lennon’s birthday, performers at tribute concert announced
On the
day of John Lennon’s birthday, it was announced that Steve Earle will perform
at the 33rd annual John Lennon charity tribute concert in New York City in
December. Lennon, who was born on Oct. 9, 1940, would have been 73. He was
slain by a deranged fan, Mark David Chapman, on Dec. 8, 1980 in front of his
New York apartment. The non-profit Theatre Within announced that Mavericks lead
singer Raul Malo, Bettye LaVette and Marc Cohn will also perform at Symphony
Space for the Dec. 6 event. Yoko Ono said in a statement that "it's
beautiful that Theatre Within continues to honour John's memory." Proceeds
will benefit Lennon and Ono's Spirit Foundations. Ticket prices are $65, $85
and $105.
