John Lennon was a singer, musician, and peace activist who achieved worldwide fame as a founding member of the iconic British pop band The Beatles. His songwriting dualism with Paul McCartney remains the most successful of all time.
After releasing 13 albums with The Beatles – some of which are the most commercially successful records in history – the outfit disbanded in 1970, Lennon continued as a solo artist. John started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife Yoko Ono in 1969.
