  • Sean Lennon Says Mom, Yoko Ono, Fine After Brief Hospitalization

    Sean Lennon says Yoko Ono, 83, is just fine after a bit of a scare and a short hospital stay.

    Originally rumors circulated that the artist, singer and widow of John Lennon had a stroke, but Sean Lennon was quick to put those rumors to rest.

    Sean Lennon wrote on Twitter, “Hey guys it was only rumors from press: was NOT a stroke, just dehydration/tired. She is FINE. Thank you everyone for your concern @yokoono”

    In a follow up tweet, Sean Lennon experimented with a little word play, saying, “Only stroke @yokoono had was a Stroke of Genius! 🙂 She’s really fine. Thanks for all the well wishes! Big Love, Sean”

    Soon the rumors subsided and Yoko Ono was back home suffering from nothing more than the flu, Sean Lennon reported.

    He wrote, “Thanks again for everyone’s concern. She’s home and running about as usual. Just the flu in the end. I may go get a flu shot now…”

    Yoko Ono had been really busy lately working on her new album called Yes, I’m a Witch Too with big name stars who helped fashion remixes of some of her old hits.

    Collaborators included Death Cab for Cutie, Moby and Sean Lennon himself.

    Perhaps the work on the album and its release last week was a little exhausting for the octogenarian icon?

    What do you think about Sean Lennon’s sweet tweets about his mother?

  • Yoko Ono Did NOT Have A Stroke, Released From Hospital For The Flu

    Yoko Ono has returned home after being rushed to a nearby hospital for the flu, and she is now “running about as usual,” tweeted her 40-year-old son Sean Lennon.

    Lennon took to Twitter on Saturday to thank everyone who showed concern for his mom and announced that she was released from the hospital after her treatment. He stated that it was “just the flu” and said he may get a flu shot as well.

    According to her publicist Elliot Mintz, Yoko Ono exhibited flu-like symptoms and was brought to Mount Sinai West Hospital, on Friday, February 26 after being advised by her doctor to get checked.

    Ono, who celebrated her birthday last week, was reportedly unconscious when she was rushed from her Upper west Side home to the hospital at around 9 p.m.

    Although initial reports claimed Ono possibly had a stroke, Mintz and Lennon both denied the rumors.

    Lennon tweeted that his mother suffered from dehydration before adding that she was fine. “’Hey guys it was only rumors from press: was NOT a stroke, just dehydration/tired. She is FINE. Thank you everyone for your concern,” his tweet read.

    Ono still lives at The Dakota on the Upper West Side of Manhattan  even after her husband was killed in front of the same building in December of 1980. Their home was reportedly listed on the market for $14.5 million dollars.

    In a 2010 interview with Anderson Cooper, Yoko Ono explained why she chose to stay at the apartment even after that shooting incident, “It was our home. You don’t just leave home. And also for Sean, that was the only home that he knows with having time with his father.”

    “Everything in the house really reminded us of him. Every room is where he’s touched. How could we leave that?” she said.

    Yoko Ono Rushed to New York Hospital Unconscious, Admitted With Flu-Like Symptoms

    Yoko Ono was unconscious when she was rushed to the hospital on Friday evening. First reports speculated the widow of the late John Lennon may have had a stroke, but that was later determined not to be true.

    Taken from her home at the Dakota and rushed to Mount Sinai West Hospital, Yoko Ono, 83, was suffering from flu-like symptoms.

    Ono has lived at the Dakota since 1973 when she and John Lennon purchased their apartment there. John Lennon was shot and killed in front of the building in 1980. The hospital where Yoko Ono was taken on Friday evening is where Lennon was pronounced dead.

    In an interview with Us Weekly earlier this week, Yoko Ono says she still misses the late Beatles legend.

    “Maybe people already know this, but I miss John every day,” she said.

    Yoko Ono also insists in the interview that she had nothing to do with the breakup of The Beatles.

    “I had nothing to do with breaking up the Beatles. And I think Paul [McCartney] is a pretty cool dude,” she said.

    Yoko Ono’s publicist, Elliott Mintz, says she will likely be released from the hospital sometime on Sunday.

  • Yoko Ono: John Lennon’s Widow Insists She Didn’t Cause The Beatles to Split

    Yoko Ono, the 83-year-old widow of John Lennon, is once again stating she didn’t cause The Beatles to split up back in the 1970s.

    Interviewed earlier this week by Us Weekly, Ono shared some interesting facts about herself that many people might not know.

    Married to John Lennon from 1969-1980, the singer-songwriter who, alongside Paul McCartney, wrote most of The Beatles’ tunes, Yoko Ono was by her husband’s side when he was assassinated in New York City on December 8, 1980. She has addressed rumors that she broke up The Beatles several times in the years since Lennon’s death.

    “I had nothing to do with breaking up the Beatles. And I think Paul [McCartney] is a pretty cool dude,” she told Us Weekly.

    Some of the fun facts Yoko Ono shared include that she has “never slept more than three or four hours at a time.” She also “wasn’t into drugs.” And Gone With the Wind is to this day her favorite movie.

    One of the facts Yoko Ono shared went without saying.

    “Maybe people already know this, but I miss John every day,” she said.

    People all over the world miss John Lennon, and no doubt frequently wonder what kind of music he’d be making now. None, of course, miss him the way Yoko Ono and their son Sean Lennon miss him.
