With all the adulation in the world THE BEATLES - one by one - paid a terrible price for their fame.
The lads from Liverpool rocketed from humble beginnings to fabulous wealth and adoration, but while it seemed like John, Paul, George and Ringo’s wildest dreams had come true, they paid a terrible price for their acclaim.
The most tragic of the group was rebel John, whose celebrity wound up costing him his life at the hands of a deranged fan who pumped fve bullets into his idol – four into Lennon’s back. But even in the years leading up to that dark day, Lennon’s road had been a rocky one.
After the band broke up, Lennon and his second wife, Yoko Ono, moved to the United States where they were relentlessly dogged by the F.B.I. for railing against the government and the Vietnam war.
