NEW YORK Yoko Ono is planning a series of events in Iceland to mark what would have been John Lennons 70th birthday.
The artist and peace campaigner will light the Imagine Peace Tower illuminated memorial, located on the island of Vioey near Icelandic capital Reykjavik RAY-kyuh-vik, on Oct. 9.
A special performance by the Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band will follow the ceremony.
Lennons widow is also expected to present awards from the Lennon Ono Grant for Peace, created to honor the former Beatles peace activism.
Lennon was fatally shot outside the couples Manhattan apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980.
