Julian Lennon, the son of the legendary John Lennon, had vowed never to perform his father’s iconic song “Imagine” unless the world was on the brink of ending. However, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine compelled him to reconsider his stance.
As part of the 2022 Global Citizen’s Stand Up for Ukraine campaign, Julian felt an obligation to use his voice to make a difference. His heartfelt rendition of “Imagine” was a poignant call to action, echoing his father’s timeless message of hope and unity.
Julian’s decision to perform the song was driven by the devastating humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, which has displaced over 4.5 million people since the war began in February. His powerful performance was part of a successful fundraiser that raised over $10 billion in pledges for Ukrainian refugees.
Julian’s plea goes beyond the Ukrainian crisis, urging world leaders and citizens to support refugees worldwide who are seeking a better life. His rendition of “Imagine” serves as a reminder that music can transcend borders and inspire collective action.
Let Julian’s powerful performance inspire you to spread awareness and advocate for refugees globally. Share his rendition of “Imagine” and join the movement for peace and unity.
