John Winston Lennon was born in Liverpool in 1940. When he was two years old, his father left the family,
and then when John was four, his mother also left, so he went to live with his aunt, Mimi Smith. He had his
first band when he was sixteen and, in 1957, Paul McCartney joined him. George Harrison, Paul's friend,
then became the lead guitarist. The last member of the group (after Pete Best, the first drummer, left) was
Ringo Starr. The name of the band was the Beatles.
In 1960 they spent four months in Hamburg, Germany, where they played music for eight hours every night,
and that was the beginning of Beatlemania. They came back to England and, in 1962, John married Cynthia
Powell. Together they had a baby son, Julian.
The Beatles recorded a lot of albums but they played their last official concert at the end of 1966. John met
Yoko Ono, his second wife in November of that year. After the band broke up in 1970, all the band members
made solo albums. John wrote „Imagine“ in 1971, a song that everyone knows today.
John went to live in America in the 1970s and he had a second son, Sean, in 1975. But his life ended on 8
December 1980 when Mark Chapman, a fan, shot him five times outside his apartment in New York. John
was only forty years old.
