On the 20th anniversary of his death, this is a rare, poignant John Lennon document in print and updated.
Lennon's last interview before his assassination on December 8, 1980, was first published in 'Playboy' in a 20,000 word format in November that year, reflecting 20 hours of tapes made in September 1980, but was never seen elsewhere, and is now a collector's item. This new, revised edition is published with the rare participation of Yoko Ono, and includes an interview with her.
Here, John sums it all up: the Beatles, his former partners, his childhood, the creation of his music, the relationship with Yoko Ono, politics, sex, passion, peace. Interwoven with the transcripts of the interview sessions is David Sheff's reportage of their encounters, from recording studios to signing autographs for fans on those fateful Dakota Building steps.
