Yoko Ono Tweets Pic Of John Lennon’s Bloody Glasses
Yoko Ono tweeted a photo of John Lennon’s bloody glasses this week.
Why? Well, she was celebrating her 44th wedding anniversary to the late Beatles singer.
Ono sat down to reflect about Lennon’s life and death this week and she came to the conclusion that there have been far too many gun deaths in the world in the 33 years since Lennon was assassinated.
Ono wrote on Twitter: “Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.”
The singer / artist sent out several more messages about gun violence and how it feels to lose a loved one. Ono says that, even though Lennon was killed more than three decades ago, she still feels the pain of his absence.
Ono wrote: “The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience. After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him. Yoko Ono Lennon.”
Along with her messages, Ono posted a sound clip of Lennon talking about a peace. (You can listen to it below.) But the most talked about item from Yoko’s anniversary tweets was a photo of John Lennon’s bloody glasses.

Ono has been at the center of controversy before and she certainly knows how to spark a conversation. What do you think about the photo? Is it gruesome? Thought provoking?
Yoko Ono also posted the track “Amsterdam” from the Wedding Album.
