'Lennon' is acknowledged as the definitive portrait of the complex, charismatic genius who was assassinated outside his New York home on 8 December 1980.
Ray Coleman, who travelled with the Beatles and interviewed Lennon many times, draws on conversations with his friends and musicians, and his family, from Aunt Mimi who raised him in Liverpool to his widow Yoko Ono.
Capturing the frenetic life and work of the Beatle who wrote "A Hard Day's Night" through to the philosopher who write "Imagine", this comprehensive biography, with rare illustrations, is revised and updated from the original best-selling edition. It includes a meticulously updated chronology of Lennon's life.
