Lennon’s Legacy Celebrated

Beatle died 30 years ago today

Today, December 8th, marks the 30th anniversary of the death of John Lennon after being shot by ‘fan’ Mark Chapman in front of his home in New York’s Dakota building.

Lennon’s legacy remains as strong as ever with his work with The Beatles, recently in the news following it’s long-awaited addition to iTunes, and his solo work continuing to inspire fans and musicians alike.

There has recently emerged a fan led campaign to celebrate John Lennon’s life which aims to promote non-violence. Given the Yoko Ono seal of approval, ‘Imagine One Billion Faces For Peace’ favours peace over violence. Find out more HERE.
