She paid tribute to the Big Apple with a white top with New York City emblazoned across it, which gave the ensemble a casual edge.

The hitmaker looked much younger than her 53 years as she smiled brightly for the cameras. Sheryl's classy black heels helped to exaggerate her lithe figure and her minimal make-up showed she's very much a natural beauty.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, 67, looked every inch the rock God he is, in a pair of leather trousers, patterned shirt and an eye-catching jacket with impressive flared sleeves.

John Lennon was a founding member of The Beatles, who revolutionised the music industry with their take on popular music.

Following his departure from the band in 1970, Lennon embarked on a successful solo career which included the legendary Imagine album.

Lennon died in 1980, after deranged fan Mark Chapman shot his idol four times in the back as he returned to his New York apartment with Yoko.
