John Lennon

On April 18, 1975, John Lennon took the stage for what would be his final public performance at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, and it was unforgettable. Just before this momentous occasion, he released the album 'Rock 'n' Roll' in 1975, a collection that paid homage to the rock standards of his youth. It’s intriguing to note that Lennon had a complicated relationship with fame, often wrestling with the expectations placed upon him after The Beatles' breakup. This performance was particularly poignant as it marked an emotional point in his life and career, with Yoko Ono supporting him as always, underscoring their deep bond. The atmosphere was electric, filled with both celebration and an unspoken bittersweetness, as fans were unaware it would be their last chance to see him live.
