Publisher's Synopsis
In this compelling exploration, acclaimed music biographer Lesley-Ann Jones unravels the enigma that was John Lennon to present a complete portrait of the man, his life, his loves, his music, his untimely death and, ultimately, his legacy. Pulling back the many layers, Jones closely tracks the life events and personality traits that led to Lennon living in self-imposed exile in New York, where he was shot dead outside his apartment on that fateful autumn day. Who, or what, really killed John Lennon? And when did the 'real' John Lennon die? Using first-hand research, unseen material and exclusive interviews with the people who knew Lennon best, Jones' search for answers delves deep into the psyche of the world's most storied musician - the good, the bad and the genius - 40 years on from his tragic death.
