In November 1980, on the eve of John Lennon’s untimely death, photographer Allan Tannenbaum had unique and total access to John and Yoko, who were emerging from five years of seclusion and avoiding the media. As one of the few photographers with whom John and Yoko were close, Tannenbaum was privileged to be able to capture many intimate moments between the two. John cherished these images of Yoko and was moved by their beauty and grace. After John’s shocking murder in December 1980, Tannenbaum continued to photograph Yoko, and the vigils and memorials that immediately sprang up throughout New York City. The result is this moving book of photography about John and Yoko together, in the last weeks of his life. Additional images—such as the prologue which documents, through a rare set of images, John Lennon’s last live performance—make this moving collection both a tribute to one of our greatest artists, and the celebration of a public and private love affair.
