John Lennon’s son Sean recently posted a photo of a leotard and fishnet tights clad Lady Gaga playing his late father’s piano via his twitter account – but angry Beatles fans quickly urged him to remove it.
The photo included the caption: “With gaga at mom’s house, she’s belting on the white piano…”
The New York Daily News reports that although Sean removed the twitpic photo, he also had a message for the Lennon fans who accused Gaga of not being worthy to play such an esteemed instrument:
“Pianos meant are to be played,” he tweeted in response. “What should we do, lock it away in a dusty room? So judgmental…Come on, lighten up… life’s too short, there’re enough real problems in the world. ”
Sean also clarified that the piano belonged to Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono.
” Firstly, he gave that piano to my mother for her birthday, it is hers, secondly, he was not uptight the way you seem to be,” he tweeted.
Gaga (24) is said to be huge John Lennon and often covers “Imagine” during her live shows, told contactmusic.com last year that in 1968 she would have probably been like another other crazed Beatles fan.
“I might be arguing with Yoko Ono and trying to win John Lennon’s heart and chasing The Beatles in a bus on LSD, hoping that one of them hands me a microphone one day,” she said.
