John Winston Ono Lennon (Liverpool, October 9, 1940-New York, December 8, 1980), born John Winston Lennon, was an artist, musician, multinstrumentist, singer-songwriter, composer, poet, cartoonist, writer, pacifist, activist and English actor, known for being one of the founding members of the rock band The Beatles.
He was born and raised in Liverpool, where as a teenager he was immersed in the British skiffle boom; He formed the band The Quarrymen in 1956, which later in 1960 would become The Beatles. When the group disintegrated at the end of that decade, Lennon experienced a solo career in which he published several albums such as John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and songs like "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine"; Most of them express their liberal and pacifist ideas. After marrying Yoko Ono in 1969 he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. He retired from the music scene in 1975 to raise his little son Sean, but resurfaced along with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was killed three weeks after his release.1 2
