Sean Lennon to attend release of John Lennon Commemorative Forever Stamp

Sean Lennon will be on hand today (September 7th) at 11 a.m. the Naumburg Bandshell in New York’s Central Park for the dedication of the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) John Lennon Commemorative Forever Stamp. Joining Sean will be photographer Bob Gruen, Postmaster General/CEO Megan J. Brennan, and legendary New York City DJ Dennis Elsas.

The stamps will be issued in a pane of 16, with a design aping a vinyl picture sleeve. The stamps themselves use a famed 1974 photo by Gruen, with the photo on the rear using the iconic 1971 Lennon shot of him at his English Tittenhurst Park estate recording “Imagine,” captured by Peter Fordham.

Forever Stamps, which while purchased at the current first class rate, will always be accepted as a first class stamp throughout the years and never need additional postage as rates increase.
