He died on the 27 June 2002, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, in the arms of a lady of the night, who had no idea of his previous fame.

It was released as a double-A sided single with the John Entwistle composition "Had Enough", also featured on the album.
John Winston Lennon MBE was an English singer, songwriter, and peace activist who, with Paul McCartney, co-founded the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. He and McCartney formed a much-celebrated songwriting partnership.
He was born: 9 October 1940, in Liverpool.
He died when Mark David Chapman shot and killed him at the entrance to the Dakota apartment building in New York City on December 8, 1980. Chapman fired five times at Lennon, hitting him four times in the back and later sat down on a nearby curb reading J. D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye until he was arrested by the police. He has repeatedly said that the novel was his statement.
