Cause she's fucking Asian!! *da bum tiss* For real, this tweet just shows that Seán Lennon is a talentless nepo baby without a poetic bone in his body. If he was talented he might have come up with something better than the racially clumsy "good witch of the east" descriptor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,213 Posted December 6 Anniversary of Lennon's death a-coming up, so obviously there will be a story about Yoko. Sean Lennon states she hasn't moved on since his death: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14163059/yoko-ono-never-moved-john-lennon-death.html Some lovely pictures but no health news as such.

Whatever you think of Ono as an artist and especially a singer hearing in such stark terms who much she clearly loved John is heart-warming and heart-breaking in equal measure.I would bet she is in frail health based on everything I read but Sean is clearly holding his cards close to his chest on how she is.In his situation I would do the same but do I think she is very poorly behind the scenes?Probably but at nearly 92 that isn`t remarkable.I was never sure how she made the Drop 40 as early as she did.After the rumours this year I get it but before that just baffles me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,876 Posted December 6 On 23/12/2023 at 20:56, arghton said: https://www.dailyshincho.jp/article/2017/05160800/ Searching around I found this Japanese-language article from 2017 where Yoko Ono's younger brother (Keisuke Ono) says Sean told him that Yoko was diagnosed with lewy body dementia in May or June 2016. Not sure if this was ever mentioned in non-Japanese news or the forums but I assume this is the "undisclosed illness" she has needed round-clock care for the last few years. Definitely should be kept on the list Reminding of this again. Yoko was horribly frail, wheelchairbound with a blanket in her last public appearance at a women's march back in January 2019. Of course Sean still occasionally insists that she is in perfect health, but Sean Lennon is a liar and a nutjob. The Yoko Ono twitter, FB and instagram accounts say in the description that they are "administered by Yoko's office, Studio One", there's probably a team crafting those posts. If you browse her twitter, especially John's death day post and the birthday posts for Ringo, Sean, Paul and others are usually copies from the previous year. LBD average life expectancy is 5-7 years, she's on year 8. It would in no way suprise me if she's hooked up to machines in some horrible state and being kept alive by family. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comparing her social media now to a decade ago it's clearly not the same person. Sean Lennon is nuts but any public comments about his mum have to be read through the prism of the family guarding her privacy fiercely. In private as above and elsewhere it's acknowledged Yoko is very poorly and tbh a few folk closer to them are surprised she's hung on as long as she has. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
