John Lennon (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980): With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and 'wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history'. After The Beatles broke up in 1970, Lennon enjoyed a successful solo career, selling 14 million albums in the US alone. After a self-imposed 'retirement' in 1975 to raise his son Sean, Lennon reemerged in 1980 with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered less than one month after its release. On the night of 8 December 1980, at around 10:50 pm, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon in the back four times at the entrance of the Dakota apartment building. Earlier that evening, Lennon had autographed a copy of Double Fantasy for Chapman who had been stalking Lennon since October. (Wikipedia)
