John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has recorded a dance version of the late Beatle's final song.

Yoko Ono has teamed up with British pop act the Pet Shop Boys for a dance remix of her husband's song "Walking on Thin Ice," her record label has announced.

"It's not clear when it's going to be released," a spokeswoman for Parlophone said, adding: "I've heard it, it's very good".

Lennon was shot dead by a crazed fan, Mark Chapman, outside his Manhattan apartment building in December 1980.

The couple had been working on the track before he died and two months later the record was released, making it to number 35 in the UK charts.

The single will get its first public performance in the US, according to the website of disc jockey Danny Tenaglia, who remixed the record.

Ono will premiere the record with Tenaglia at New York's Arc club on the eve of her 70th birthday.

Lennon once described Ono as "the world's most famous unknown artist".
