You can call it a case of history repeating itself. Sean Lennon has recreated the award-winning Rolling Stone cover photo of his parents, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz on Dec. 8, 1980, just hours before the assassination of the former Beatle. While the original photo shows a clothed Ono being spooned by a naked Lennon, the junior Lennon and his girlfriend, model Kemp Muhl, switched roles for the remake, with Lennon keeping his pants on and Muhl, well, not so much. The Huffington Post (link NSFW) reports that the remake appears in the fall issue of independent French style publication Purple.

The original photo shoot initially correlated with the release of Ono and Lennon's first album together in five years, 'Double Fantasy.' Lennon would be shot by Mark David Chapman hours later outside the couple's New York City apartment building, the Dakota, upon returning from the studio. The photo graced the cover of Rolling Stone's commemorative issue to the late Beatle that hit newsstands on Jan. 22, 1981.

Ono has said of the iconic photo, "Why wasn't I told that John will be taken away from me soon after, without even a chance for me to say goodbye? That's what I think about now when I see it." There's no word yet on what she thinks of her son's take on it.
