Lennon tribute concert planned

New York - John Lennon would have turned 70 on October 9, but celebrations to honour him will go on after that.

An all-star benefit concert in honour of the former Beatle is scheduled in November with a line-up that includes Jackson Browne, Patti Smith and Cyndi Lauper.

The concert will be held at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on November 12. Proceeds will go to the Playing for Change Foundation, which promotes peace with music.

The concert will be presented by the group Theatre Within. Performers will also include Aimee Mann and Shelby Lynne, among others.

Lennon was killed 30 years ago, two months after celebrating his 40th birthday.
