Biography

Liverpool, United Kingdom (1940 – 1980)

John Winston Ono Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, singer, , and peace activist, born in Liverpool, UK who gained worldwide fame as a founding member of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and “wrote some of the most popular music in history”. He is ranked the second most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history after Paul McCartney.

Lennon revealed a rebellious nature, and biting wit, in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and artist. After The Beatles, Lennon enjoyed a successful solo career (that started in 1968, 2 years before the break-up of The Beatles) with such acclaimed albums as John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine and iconic songs such as “Give Peace a Chance” and “Imagine”. After a self-imposed “retirement” to raise his son, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered less than one month after its release. The album would go on to win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

    Nakkinak - Wow! You are joking right? I might think Julian Lennons opinion differs from yours. John Lennon was an unpleasent man, a dick really. He knew nothing about politics and the few things he actually did politically was to give money to The Black Panthers!!!, oooh the irony...

    Had no idea that Lennon was completely out of his mind.. A hypocrite, pathological liar and a wife beater. I already knew he was overrated both as a person and a musician, but this came as a surprise. My Anti-Beatles attitude seems more and more appropriate... I am far from being perfect myself, but i dont go around preaching peace and love while living a life, which completely contradicts your message.

    Plastic Ono Band is the best one for me, although I love everything about John and his solo career. He's my idol.
