In John Lennon 1980: The Last Days In The Life, published on October 8th by Omnibus Press, author Kenneth Womack traces the powerful, life-affirming story of John Lennon’s remarkable comeback after five years of self-imposed retirement. As music historian Womack reveals in exhaustive detail Lennon’s final year would climax in unforgettable moments of creative triumph as he rediscovered his artistic self in dramatic fashion. With the bravura release of the Double Fantasy album with Yoko Ono and having just marked his 40th birthday, Lennon was poised and ready again for a peerless creative future.
Drawing on new interviews, John Lennon 1980 is an informative, engaging and deeply moving portrayal of the final chapter in John Lennon’s remarkable life. It is the story of how he lived, rather than how he died.
