There is no doubt that The Beatles (along with John Lennon), is the most iconic rock band of all time. Born in Liverpool, this group became an international success in the 1960s. Although the group’s disintegration was rapid, the British have managed to excel in their solo careers. Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, but especially John Lennon, were responsible for making several young people (and not so young) sigh with their melodies.
John Lennon died 41 years ago, assassinated by Mark David Chapman, on December 8, 1980. However, his murder made him a legend, so much so that the tributes after his death have never stopped. Lennon has caused much talk, to the point that several conspiracy theories have been woven about his death. Let’s see more details about this character in this note.
