Imagine No John Lennon. On 8 December 1980, John Lennon was shot five times by 25-year-old Mark David Chapman outside The Dakota, the apartment building in New York City where John and Yoko Ono lived. Chapman had been stalking Lennon for days outside the building and asked for an autograph as Lennon walked through the courtyard.
In his solo career, Lennon wrote and recorded such classic songs as Imagine and  Give Peace a Chance . Lennon often revealed his rebellious nature and acerbic wit on television, in films such as A Hard Day's Night (1964), in books such as In His Own Write, and in press conferences and interviews.
