John Lennon – 40 (1940-1980)

This handsome pic of John Lennon signing a copy of Double Fantasy hours before his untimely demise at the hands of Mark David Chapman, one of the fans he autographed for, would haunt us forever. It’s a shocking reminder of how fleeting life can be. He had just turned 40 two months earlier!

The Beatles frontman has wowed us with his vocals and his songwriting skills alongside Paul McCartney, which to date remains one of the most successful partnerships in the history of music! The legend has left behind a heartwarming legacy; Come Together, Rain, and Strawberry Fields Forever written by him for the band will remain evergreen!
