John Lennon's inspirational anthem 'Imagine' is one of the most celebrated pieces of music of all time.

And performing the song for the first time ever, his son Julian Lennon did his dad proud as he belted out a hauntingly beautiful cover of the 1971 hit.

The rendition closed out a televised European Union pledge drive that raised $10.1 billion for refugee assistance.

The solemn clip shows Lennon singing — in cadences uncannily like his father’s — surrounded by candles, while accompanied by acoustic guitarist Nuno Bettencourt.
