On the eve of JOHN LENNON’s 80th birthday, the John Lennon Estate, the Empire State Building and Universal Music Group paid tribute to his life and legacy by lighting up the world-famous tower. Sean Ono Lennon was on hand to flip the switch in honour of his father, illuminating the iconic building in sky blue (with a rotating white peace sign in the top mast) from sunset to 2 am on Lennon’s birthday.
