Brooks and Yearwood, who were close friends of Carter,\u00a0sang a rendition<\/a>\u00a0of John Lennon’s 1971 track “Imagine,” at the Democrat’s funeral. Their performance caused quite a stir online, with many fans voicing their opinions on the choice of song.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The firestorm on social media largely revolved around the song’s lyrical rejection of religion. One of the most dividing verses\u00a0sings<\/a>, “Imagine there’s no heaven, It’s easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky.” Fans didn’t love the idea of having these words sung in a church setting as they challenged the very values of the Christian funeral.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
