New York (AFP) - Yoko Ono on Tuesday announced that she is releasing a new album at age 85, saying that her lifelong message of peace was sorely needed in 2018.

"Warzone," which will come out on October 19, will revisit songs penned by Ono since 1970, concluding with "Imagine," her seminal pacifist anthem with her late husband John Lennon.

"The world is so messed up. Things are very difficult for everybody," she said in a statement.

A statement from her representatives added: "It is not too late to change the world. We need Yoko now more than ever."

The Japanese-born New Yorker made clear that "Warzone" was not a swan song, saying that she is working on another album.

The album's 13 tracks, produced by her son Sean Ono Lennon, are rearranged to strip back the music, bringing to the forefront Ono's voice in the vein of spoken word.

John Lennon would be 77 (78, in October), if still living.

Yoko, do not sing. The last time you did, on the album Double Fantasy, your husband was immediately shot to death. It’s not a good thing.

Until a few years ago I had no idea that was Yoko's voice in "Happy Christmas (War is Over)".

All this time I thought it was Paul with a hernia!!

John must have really hated the world in order to foist this beastly fraud on us.

In Japan her family is rich as all hell.

She’s like a DuPont or Vanderbilt.

I hate her guts.

If there’s one thing that might keep nations from going to war, it’s the threat of a Doomsday weapon like Yoko Ono music.
