JOHN LENNON – Immortal Working Class Released His Final LP ‘DOUBLE FANTASY’ With YOKO 45 Years Ago Today

17 November 2025

After leaving music behind him for five years in order to be as much as possible
with his son Sean, immortal rock & pop legend JOHN LENNON went back in the
studio, with the love of his life YOKO and Sean‘s mother to work on what became
their 5th and final collaborative LP.

DOUBLE FANTASY was released 45 years ago on 17 November 1980. It wasn’t an impressive one and got knifed down by the press, but it was so special just because
it was the last one by one of the greatest singer-songwriters that ever lived.

Only three weeks after the LP’s release the working class hero was killed cowardly by
Mark Chapman. Lennon was, unquestionably, my favorite Beatle, he was the rocker and much more. As part of the Fab Four, he changed pop, along with his twin songwriter buddy Macca. And let’s not forget he became an influential peace activist, under the influence of Yoko.
