Lennon’s tape reveals Macca was most important person to him
By ANIMonday, September 7, 2009
NEW YORK - A new tape of late singer John Lennon’s interviews has him saying that fellow Beatles member Paul McCartney was the most important person to him apart from his wife.
“I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner,” the New York Post quoted the Times of London as reporting as to what Lennon said in the tape.
“One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono. Paul and me were the Beatles,” Lennon claims in the tape.
However, according to the newspaper, their friendship didn’t last long and, when the band broke up, he told Paul: “I want a divorce.”
Rock journalist Ray Connelly recorded the tapes, in which Lennon even mentions early death.
He said: “[wasting] my life as I have been. I have to learn to do that because I don’t want to die at 40.”
He was shot to death at that age in 1980. (ANI)
