A heartbreaking video of a man singing a Beatles song to his dying newborn baby, after the mother passed away during labor.

The above clip, showing Chris playing the Beatles song, which was was written by Paul McCartney, and credited to Lennon–McCartney, was filmed via a mobile phone and uploaded to YouTube.

When tiny Lennon was born at 26 weeks father Chris brought his guitar into hospital to try and lift his spirits. Chris sat next to poorly Lennon's incubator and strummed some of his favourite songs, and the pair were able to share a poignant few hours as father and son.

"Our dear Ashley's life was tragically, devastatingly cut short this past weekend. Her dear baby flickered briefly for a few days after," said a statement on a memorial website. A family spokesman, Brett Walls, told AFP: "For the next few days, Chris is spending time with his family, his friends, and his community while he continues to grieve.
