“Today, for the first time ever, I publicly performed my Dad’s song, ‘Imagine’,” Julian wrote on YouTube, while sharing a video of his performance. “The song reflects the light at the end of the tunnel, that we are all hoping for.”
He continued, “I had always said, that the only time I would ever consider singing ‘Imagine’ would be if it was the ‘End of the World.’”

Julian added, “The War on Ukraine is an unimaginable tragedy. As a human, and as an artist, I felt compelled to respond in the most significant way I could.”
John first released the poignant ballad back in 1971.
The performance took place as part of the televised Stand Up for Ukraine campaign, which raised over $10 billion for refugee assistance.
