Yoko Ono can’t forgive but she has no problem telling everybody else to.

Beatle John Lennon was murdered 26 years ago on Dec. 8, and Ono now wants the anniversary of her husband’s death to become a worldwide day of forgiveness.

Taking out full-page newspaper advertisements, Ono said, “Every year, let’s make December 8 the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable

“To the people who have also lost loved ones without cause: forgive us for having been unable to stop the tragedy,” she continued.

Ono went on to thank well-wishers who write her every year on the anniversary of Lennon’sdeath but goes on to say that “As the widow of one who was killed by an act of violence, I don’t know if I am ready yet to forgive the one who pulled the trigger.

“I am sure all victims of violent crimes feel as I do. But healing is what is urgently needed now in the world.”

Obsessed Beatles fan Mark Chapman shot and killed Lennon, 40, outside his apartment in New York in 1980. Chapman is currently serving time in prison.
