John Lennon told 'mother' he 'couldn't wait to see her' in final call before his death
One-year after John was gunned down by Mark Chapman, a Beatles obsessive who had become infuriated by their anti-religious lyrics, Mimi spoke out about the legend.
She recalled the final call with her nephew, who she had nurtured from an early age, a mere “two hours” before he was murdered outside The Dakota, in Manhattan.
Previously, John had urged his ‘mother’ to move to the US to live with him and second wife Yoko Ono but she rejected the offer.
Mimi explained that she didn’t “regret” the choice because she “couldn’t live in America” and felt extremely close to him despite them being nearly 3,500 miles apart.
