London
(ANI):
John
Lennon"s
widow
Yoko
One
has
attracted
the
ire
of
the
late
Beatle"s
fans
for
allowing
his
image
to
be
used
in
a
car
advert.
Fans
are
furious
by
video
of
the
late
Lennon
dubbed
with
an
actor"s
words
put
in
his
mouth.
In
part
of
message
“Lennon" says:
“Do
something
of
your
own.
Start
something
new.
Live
your
life
now."
Many
have
appealed
for
a
boycott
of
Citroën
cars
and
started
a
Facebook
campaign
to
get
the
commercial
banned.
“This
is
totally
out
of
order
and
will
be
depressing
millions
of
Lennon
fans,"
the
Daily
Star
quoted
Bill
Harry,
founder
of
the
Mersey
Beat
newspaper
in
Liverpool,
as
saying.
Some
fans
have
even
posted
messages
on
Yoko"s
Twitter
page
saying:
“Shame
on
you."
“No-one
can
believe
John
Lennon
would
ever
have
agreed
for
his
image
to
be
used
to
advertise
a
car.
It
is
cheapening
his
memory
and
there
is
a
lot
of
anger,"
Liverpool
Beatles
tourist
guide
Phil
Coppell
said.
Citroën
have,
however,
defended
the
advert
by
saying
Yoko,
77,
and
the
Lennon
estate
permitted
them
to
make
the
advert.
