This founding member of the Beatles was extremely popular during the 60s and 70s as part of the legendary “Fab Four”, but even afterwards had a memorable solo career. He was a free-spirited individual and activist, and led a somewhat unconventional lifestyle with his wife, Yoko Ono. Though some found him to be eccentric and controversial, majority of the people respected and adored him not only as a musician, but as a person. Sadly, one deranged mind decided to end his life. Lennon was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman, who asked Lennon for his autograph several hours prior to murdering him. Chapman was incensed about lifestyle and public statements, particularly the much publicized remark about the Beatles being “more popular than Jesus.” Chapman was arrested and pleaded guity to Lennon’s murder, who was shot 5 times, 4 of which hit him in the back. A worldwide mourning and several weeks of grief followed Lennon’s murder. Truly a great loss not only for the music world, but for humanity in general.
