Jeho život byl sice tragicky krátký, ale přesto pozoruhodně naplněný. Do okamžiku než zemřel, dosáhl nebývalé proslulosti, nejprve jako člen kapely Beatles, později jako úspěšný sólový umělec. Po banálních začátcích se skupinou, která vystupovala na lokálních koncertech, založil kapelu vlastní. Beatles se stali jednou z nejvlivnějších a nejvýznamnějších popových skupin všech dob.Koncem 60. let se John stále více zaměřoval na projekty nesouvisející s Beatles, například na psaní a produkci experimentální hudby, umění a filmu, a založil tzv. superskupinu Plastic Ono Band. Po narození syna oznámil, že končí s hudebními aktivitami, aby se mohl věnovat rodině. O pět let později se chtěl vrátit k nahrávání, ale než to stihl uskutečnit, byl před svým domem zavražděn.

From the moment John, Paul, George and Ringo began playing together in the Summer of 1962, a pop legend was well and truly born. From their Liverpool roots the Beatles crafted a musical unique style with the classical trained background talents of their Producer, George Martin, and thus took the world of popular music by storm with what became known as Beatlemania.A Fab collection of full-page photos, from back in the day when they played and laughed together. From their first days together, to their first world tour in 1963, to the end when they dissolved the band in 1970. Lot of fun caught in these images, playful moods at studio sessions, live on stage and in-between. Many have not be published before and descriptions where and when the photo was taken are provided.They were a phenomenon that defined the sixties and their legacy is still very much alive today almost 50 years later. A visual treat for any Beatles Fan.
