YOKO ONO INTERVIEWED ON ROLLING STONE THIS WEEK
After celebrating her 80th birthday in February, Yoko Ono has another reason to break out the champagne: her 10th Number One dance hit. On “Hold Me,” recorded with L.A. DJ Dave Audé, Ono sings about lost love over a sleek, stomping house beat.
“With John [Lennon], we did something to break out from the usual rock,” Ono tells Rolling Stone. “But I didn’t know I was going to break into dance. It’s incredible. They do a festival, and 50,000 people come!” Ono also discussed her upcoming Meltdown Festival (happening in London June 14th-23rd), her battle against fracking and her relationship with Paul McCartney. “It was very difficult for me to not have that support for those 40 years,” she said. “We understand each other so well, in many ways.”
