Sean Lennon honored his father John Lennon on what would have been the icon’s 80th birthday. Sean Ono Lennon performed “Isolation” for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’s #PlayAtHome video series.
“Isolation” appears on 1970’s Plastic Ono Band, John Lennon’s solo debut LP. The song is still very relevant, especially in 2020, and Sean shared his thoughts and a call to action in the notes accompanying the video:
Hey guys, here’s my version of ‘ISOLATION’, with me on drums and my nephew Jack on bass. Crazy how much the lyrics fit our current year. Please upload a cover of your favorite John Lennon song, put #GIMMESOMETRUTH and #LENNON80 and tag my dad @johnlennon (on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok) to help celebrate his 80th birthday. We need his music and his message now more than ever!’
