Hi kompot,
John Lennon, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, was shot dead outside
his apartment building in New York City on the night of 8 December
1980.
"On Dec. 8, 1980 Mark David Chapman, a crazed fan, ended the life of
one of the World's great musician / songwriters John 'Ono' Lennon. As
John and Yoko returned home, the gunman approached them and shot
Lennon to death. Then he casually laid down his gun, sat on the step
and read a book.
Lennon died right here on the sidewalk in front of his New York home
as Yoko watched in horror. Ironically, John had just autographed his
record 'Double Fantasy' for Chapman just hours before the assassin
returned to kill him..."
