John Lennon, ššØš«š§ on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England, rose to fame as a member of The Beatles, one of the most influential bands in music history.
Lennonās early life was marked by instability, including the death of his mother in a car accident in 1958, which deeply affected him and influenced his later work.
The Beatles, formed in 1960, achieved unprecedented success, including a record-breaking five songs occupying the top five spots on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964.
John Lennonās activism included the iconic “bed-ins for peace” with Yoko Ono, which protested the Vietnam War and promoted global peace.
After the Beatles disbanded in 1970, Lennon launched a successful solo career, producing enduring hits like “Imagine” and “Give Peace a Chance.”

Tragically, John Lennon was assassinated on December 8, 1980, but his legacy as a music icon and advocate for peace continues to inspire generations worldwide.
