I don't think so since she's only been married to men. She's never had a wife and the most recent time that she was dating the person was a man.

Does Yoko Ono have a friend called Sundy who may live in Australia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Sundy lives in Austria. Yoko Ono's best friend since the second grade has been an Austrian citizen for the past 70 years. Sundy is often mistaken for an Australian due to his "crocodile dundee" style hat and affinity for pulling knives out of his pocket that are larger than other people's knives. Sundy also enjoys shrimp, Foster's and kangaroos - but the similiarities between him and the Australian stereotype end there. Sundy is actually native to New Zealand, where he was born in 1876. Sundy has never been to Australia, except for a brief stop at the Sydney airport before departing to Vienna. Some rumors speculate that during this stop Sundy may have told his mate to have a good day. He and Yoko are good friends they can often be found playing Halo 3 on Xbox live.

Why does Yoko Ono sell off so many of John Lennon's personal possessions and original art and handwritten lyrics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

With the exception of an auction held in the 1980s to raise funds for Yoko Ono's Spirit Foundation charity, Yoko Ono rarely, if ever, sells off any of John's personal posessions (and has never sold off any of John's handwritten lyric sheets).

The John Lennon handwritten lyric sheets that occasionally come up for sale at auction are items that John left behind in the studio, or otherwise discarded or abandoned in hotel rooms, etc. There was little thought that such items had any value back then -- and so they were often simply abandoned or thrown out. Studio employees, musicians, hotel employees and others would find them and keep them. Later, these items would be put up for auction, many of them changing hands through collectors over the years as prices rose.

Yoko also does not sell off any of Lennon's original artwork. John Lennon released a series of signed lithographs (mostly of his nude drawings of Yoko) that occasionally come up for sale -- but all of his other "artwork" that is being sold today are reprints produced by Yoko -- not the original artwork.

Yoko Ono has carefully collected and archived Lennon's personal artifacts, and occasionally has lent some of these items to museums so that Lennon fans around the world get a chance to see them.

What song is it when Yoko Ono Lennon screams?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yoko Ono was trained in German Lied singing and other techniques, and soloed with her voice; most people mistook it for screaming. The first record where she used it prominently was "Don't Worry Kyoko", the B-side of "Cold Turkey", in 1969. You may also be thinking of the unreleased (until the third volume of The Beatles Anthology CDs in 1996) "What's The New Mary Jane", where Yoko wails "Whaaaaaaaaaat aaaaaaaaaa shaaaaaaaaaaame!" toward the end.

How did Yoko Ono ruin The Beatles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yoko Ono did not ruin the Beatles, but her presence was a contributing factor in their breakup.

The Beatles had had a meteoric ride to international superstardom in a short space of time. The touring schedule had taken its toll and the did their last ever concert in August, 1966, but the demands of writing and recording new material still existed.

They were on average, in their mid-twenties and trying to live their lives, but were so well known, they could not step out in public due to Beatlemania.

Yoko Ono's influence over John Lennon was such that he neglected band duties and responsibilities such as songwriting and turning up for recording sessions. When he was present at sessions and meetings, she was present, she spoke up, and it didn't sit well with anyone else.

How did John Lennon and Yoko Ono spend their honeymoon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lennon and Ono expected the media would follow and snoop on them during their honeymoon, so they decided to turn things around, and use the event to promote world peace. They spent the week in the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam, and invited the media to come visit them during their "Bed-In for Peace".

The invitation was misinterpreted at first, with many people assuming the couple planned to make love for the public to see. Lennon said later "The press came charging through the door, thinking we were going to be screwing in bed." Instead they found John and Yoko sitting up in bed in pajamas, surrounded by handmade posters reading HAIR PEACE, BED PEACE, GROW YOUR HAIR, I LOVE YOKO and I LOVE JOHN, and the two of them answering any and all questions put to them.

The event was commemorated in "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", one of the last Beatles singles (which featured only Lennon and Paul McCartney playing), and the later Wedding Album, which included a book of photos, another book of press clippings, and a bagged photo of a slice of wedding cake. One side of the record, titled "Amsterdam", was a collection of sounds from the week, including two interviews with the media.

Lennon and Ono wanted to have a second bed-in in America, but Lennon was refused entry to the United States because of his recent arrest for hashish possession. They settled at first for the Bahamas, but found their hotel inhospitable, and they relocated the event to the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. This Bed-In lasted ten days, with the couple speaking by radio and telephone to student protestors in California, and the writing and recording of "Give Peace A Chance".
