During his New Year’s Eve performance of John Lennon’s “Imagine” in Times Square, Cee Le Green took the liberty of changing one of the key lines in the song.

Instead of singing the original lyrics, “Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too,” Green switched it up as “Nothing to kill or die for / And all religion’s true.”

Green’s version dramatically changes the intent of the legendary song, and music fans aren’t happy about it.

”Yo I meant no disrespect by changing the lyric guys!” Green tweeted. “I was trying to say a world were [sic] u could believe what u wanted that’s all.”

Cee Lo responded directly to other angry Lennon fans on Twitter, but has since deleted all of the tweets.

Justin Bieber pulled out a classic Beatles song for his New Year’s Eve performance in New York City’s Times Square.

Bieber teamed up with guitar legend Carlos Santana for a version of “Let It Be.”

“New York, with all you’ve been through, your spirit’s never been broken,” said Justin, introducing the tune. “We all do the best we can each year - learn from our past, to be better in the future. What’s happened has happened, what will be will be.”
