December 8 — The Murder of John Lennon
Description
On this day in 1980, music legend John Lennon was shot outside his New York City home by a fan who had waited for hours. Just hours before, Lennon had signed an autograph for the man who would end his life. Within minutes, the world lost one of its most influential voices.
In this episode, we retrace Lennon’s final day—from his creative resurgence and time in the studio to the chilling moments on West 72nd Street. We also examine the disturbing motives of Mark David Chapman, the investigation and aftermath, and how Lennon’s death sent shockwaves across the globe.
More than four decades later, the pain still lingers, but so does the legacy of a man who believed in peace, love, and the power of music.
