Shannon's 7 of 9

Beatle Brunch supports The John Lennon’s Birthday/Memoriam Countdown going on in Liverpool, England. He would have been 70 years old on October 9, 2010 and on December 8, 2010, it will be 30 years since we said a sudden heartfelt goodbye to him.

From October 9th to December 8th a celebration of life will take place throughout the world and on December 9th, musical stars from all eras will unite on stage when the John Lennon tribute season closes with a unique and emotional charity concert finale 'Lennon Remembered', at Echo Arena.

Artist, Shannon MacDonald from America, known only as Shannon in the world of Beatles, has had her most famously recognized image of John Lennon elected as the official backdrop for this concert. “The Seven Faces of John”, was painted by Shannon in 1997. It will be updated with two new Lennon images especially for this celebration to coincide with the number 9. The number 9 represents many things Lennon including his songs “Revolution Number 9” and “Number 9 Dream”, his birthday, and the date of this massive celebration.

In 1996 Shannon went to Liverpool, England to meet the Lord Mayor and was officially titled and declared The World’s Greatest Beatles Artist. When asked how she felt about the title she simply said, “The whole world? Amazing! Thank you.” Since then she has received the title, Official Artist of The Cavern Club and last year she was inducted into The Cavern Hall of Fame.
