{Relationship with Paul McCartney}

After THE BEATLES broke up, deep feud was present between John and Paul, so they slandered each other in each other’s music. But, since middle of 1970, they began to regain a friendship. John said “ The person who can speak evil of Pail is me. I don’t allow the other to say Paul’s slander. So I think John loved Paul.

On December 8, 1980, when he got out of his car John was fired by Mark Chapman and died. I will write about it later.
