Three years ago, when the National Music Publishers’ Association presented Yoko Ono with their Centennial Song Award, Sean Lennon pushed his mother onto the stage at Cipriani 42nd Street in a wheelchair — shocking some who didn’t realize the formidable avant-garde artist was incapacitated.
But in her signature shades, black leather jacket and white Panama hat, the widow of John Lennon didn’t seem to miss a beat when she began a short acceptance speech by addressing the elephant in the room.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” she said, clutching the award in one hand and a microphone in the other as Sean whispered to her about what was going on. “I’ve learned so much from having this illness. I’m thankful I went through that.”
While it’s not clear what “illness” she was referring to, Ono, now 87, is still ailing, requires round-the-clock care and rarely leaves her sprawling apartment in The Dakota, a source close to her staff told The Post. In photos taken at rare public appearances — including a women’s march in Columbus Circle last year and at a commemoration of John in Liverpool in May 2018 — Ono is confined to a wheelchair, or walks with great difficulty using a cane, often leaning on a caregiver or Sean for support.
She has also been selling off some real-estate assets in recent years

What kind of country is this where John Lennon gets six bullets in the chest, and Yoko is standing right next to him, and not one f’ing bullet. Explain that to me!

So she's finally imagining no possessions!
I didn’t think I liked her, but saw a documentary showing what an alcoholic mess John had been, how she was the only stability in his life, and how he reformed after they got back together. She was sincere and well spoken. A terrible tragedy that he was killed after turning his life around.
John was born in 1940. The demure and publicity-shy Yoko was born in 1933.
No more screeching this is good
He must have loved her, cuz it warn’t her looks...
It weren’t really his looks, either. From everything I saw, they truly loved each other.
worth 700 million
and how much did John’s first son receive???
supposedly 20 million pounds to drop the lawsuit
It wasnt luck she wasnt shot.
I know she was the 2nd wife, but it would be nice if she left some $$$ for Julian Lennon, son of the 1st wife. Much if not most of what material wealth she has was due to John.
LOL fncking LOL!
Heroin is a bitch....
The beatles sucked balls.
Lennon always reminded me of Elmer McCurdy. Wasted and useless.
I am a sinner as well.......yet I never sucked balls...
John Lennon was a Communist prick who said his band was bigger than Jesus himself. Maybe him getting shot was karma.
Yes. I too believe she had something to do with it.
Cynthia wrote in a book that Julian and his father started to become closer at the very end of Lennon’s life. But, in a 1980 interview — not long before he was shot and killed — Lennon said that Julian was born from an unplanned pregnancy. He even said Julian “came out of a whiskey bottle,” unlike Lennon’s son born later from his marriage to Yoko Ono.

In her case, Horreey Cow
previous kids often get screwed over because of the wife that comes next
plus Lennon was a jerk
I hope she gets to listen to her music while ailing.
Poetic justice.
Geez, I had Yono O-No! in the “forgotten but not gone” category.
