Rock 'n' Roll's most famous widow Yoko Ono will resurrect The Plastic Ono Band with an all-star lineup for a one-night only performance in New York.

The concert, on February 16 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Gilman Opera House, will be the first Plastic Ono Band gig in almost 40 years.

Ono’s new band will consist of son Sean Lennon, as well as Japanese musicians Cornelius, Yuka Honda and Haruomi Hosono, with guests including Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Bette Midler, Martha Wainwright and the Scissor Sisters.
