Yoko Ono To Attend Sir Paul McCartney Anfield Gig

In Liverpool today...

Share

Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon, will attend Sir Paul McCartney’s concert at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool later today (June 1st).

"Of course I am going to be there. I'm looking forward to it,” she told the BBC.

Ono added that she felt the concert was part of a “very special weekend” for the city.

McCartney will be joined by Kaiser Chiefs, the Zutons and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl for the performance.

The concert is the centerpiece of Liverpool’s celebrations as the 2008 Capital of Culture for Europe.

McCartney has promised that the gig will feature some surprise appearances and a collection of old favorites from his song library.

Although he remained tight lipped on his guests, he did rule out a collaboration with ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, saying that it “was never going to be on the cards”.

  • Yoko is worse than Heather Mills. She’ll turn up to the opening of an envelope (not to mention try and sue you if you happen to have the name John!!!)

  • Ono believes the public believes she didn’t know Lennon BEFORE she met him, but Macca has implied she knew of the Beatles". Give me a break! Yoko KNEW of the "Beatles" in 1969. EVERYONE KNEW OF BEATLES IN 1969. And Ono’’s feigned knowledge of the Beatles is ridiculous - IMOO
