The Tragic Truth About John Lennon's Murder

The emergence of the Beatles in the early 1960's wasn't just a seismic event in pop music, but in Western and world culture as a whole. The Beatles helped create and shape the counterculture of the 1960s, and future generations have looked to them as a touchstone for artistic independence, fashion and style, and psychedelia that continues to resonate even today.

At the center of the Beatles was John Lennon, a counterculture icon who found himself the de-facto head of a worldwide cultural revolution. That turned him into both a prophet for baby boomers and a high-profile target for many powerful and influential people - as well as one deranged killer named Mark David Chapman.

This is the tragic story of John Lennon's murder.
