Stamps featuring John Lennon, Michael Jackson and Janis Joplin in the works

Over the next two years, the U.S. Postal Service will reveal stamps embellished with the faces of famous celebrities from guitar god Jimi Hendrix to Apple founder, Steve Jobs.

The stamps will feature other celebrities such as Janis Joplin, James Brown and a 2015 re-release of the best selling stamp, Elvis Presley’s 1993 29-cent tribute, according to Rolling Stone

A John Lennon stamp is planned and in the works but does not have a release date just yet.

This year will also bring stamps honoring celebrity chefs, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and Wilt Chamberlain. Next year, the world will be introduced to Johnny Carson and Ingrid Bergman stamps, as reported in, The Washington Post

Other ideas for the future include the faces of Jim Morrison, Same Coke, Michael Jackson, Barack Obama and Ansel Adams, Dora the Explorer and more.

Black heritage, guitar and hip-hop honors, science fiction writers and 20th century humorists are just a few stamp series that could be brought to the corners of envelopes around the world.

A representative from the U.S.P.S. claims that stamp ideas are subject to change at any time. With these fresh and new stamp ideas, the Postal Service has hopes of attracting a younger stamp collecting audience.
