September 19, 2001 – Turner Network Television (TNT) has rescheduled the Come Together concert for Tuesday, October 2nd, telecast live at 8 p.m. ET/PT (previously confirmed to tape Sept. 20 and premiere Oct. 9).

"In light of last week's tragic events ... TNT felt it was appropriate to move our Lennon tribute to October 2nd," said Steve Koonin, executive vice president and general manager of TNT. "In addition, the event, originally planned as a benefit for a non-violent world, will now also support the vital efforts of the New York City relief organizations."

"The appropriateness of John Lennon's words, message and music is even more timely now," said Ehrlich, co-executive producer of Come Together. "New York City identified and shared a mutual love affair with John Lennon, and now more than ever, that unbreakable bond grows even stronger in this time of healing."

John Lennon, singer/songwriter/artist, was a founder of the world's most popular band: The Beatles. More than a musician, Lennon expressed his stand for peace and love through original, and well-publicized works, influencing many to do the same. Lennon's life was taken December 8, 1980.
