There have been theories that Chapman was set up to do this by the CIA by brainwashing. I can't verify whether this is true or not, but it does remain a possibility.

John was a powerful figure in the anti-war camp and had a lot of influence. It could be that the powers that be wanted him out of the way because he might interfere with their future plans for more wars...

I totally disagree with the poster that said by now Lennon would be a sad old man.
Lennon would be 67 if he were alive today, and given that Paul McCartney at 65 is still performing regularly I can't see that John would have done any differently. At the time of his death he was re-starting his musical career. Personally, as a fan of the Beatles, I like to think that perhaps Paul and John may have worked together again after some time.
After all, the 'threetles' got together to make the Beatles Anthology in the mid-90s - perhaps John would have joined them as well if he'd still been alive.
Sadly, with George gone too now, only 2 members remain of the world's greatest ever band.

It was shocking to hear. A "stalker fan" shooting a celebrity wasn't too common. I hope the man never gets parole and rots in prison.

John Lennon may not have been the nicest person in the world , but at least he contributed something positive to the world. Unlike Chapman who has his 4 minutes of fame for doing something senseless.

If you are going to try and blame Salinger then you should blame Jodi Foster for Hinkley's attempt on Reagan's life or the Beatles for Charles Manson. I hope you aren't going to try and equate their actions with people using religion to justify their actions. The Catcher in the Rye struck a chord with an individual who was disturbed to begin with while a predominant religion influences society at a macro level.

I'm still saddened and angered by this, it was a great loss to a great number of people. What makes me curious though is why Brits don't seem to hold issue with America over this? I'm pretty sure that had Elvis died on a British toilet, America wouldn't let it go.


It was a tragedy that will never be forgotten imo.

very sad I remember him saying more then once that's why he quite preforming live he feared it would happen on stage and it happened in what is supposed to be the safety of his own house / property nobody is safe anywhere he is missed Mark David Chapman should have gotten the death penalty

Still very sad about this, almost 30 years later. It just shows how dangerous it is to be famous in a world full of crazies.

A very sad and pointless end to a beautiful life.

I was devastated when I heard.... listened to "Shaved Fish" for a week after that...

It was a tragic event that happened a long time ago. Time to move on. I agree with Knownow. He probably would have been an embarrassment to himself if he were still alive.
