Cynthia Lennon, who was married to John Lennon from 1962 to 1968, died on Wednesday at his home in Spain. She was 75 years old.
Paul McCartney pays tribute to her in a statement, saying that “news about Cynthia’s passing is very sad. She was a lovely lady who I’ve known since our early days together in Liverpool. She was a good mother to Julian and will be missed by all of us. “
The Beatles song” Hey Jude, “as Paul McCartney wrote, was a tröstlåt to Julian Lennon when his parents divorced. It was originally called “Hey Jules”.
Yoko Ono, Lennon’s second wife, also spoke yesterday: “Cynthia was a wonderful person and a wonderful mother to Julian. She had such a zest for life and I am proud of how we two women stood strong in the Beatles family. “
The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr tweeted:” Peace and love for Julian Lennon God bless Cynthia love from Ringo and Barbara xx “.
The son Julian celebrates her mother musically here. “You Showed me how to cry,” he sings.
Hunter Davis, who wrote the Beatles official biography in 1968, says the Daily Mail that Cynthia Lennon was “totally different John because she was reticent, reserved and calm, I think there were differences that drew them to each other. When they got back together at the art school so everyone was amazed – she was seen as refined and reserved and no one thought it would last. “
He continues:” John treated her terribly. He lay with Yoko in their home and, as we later realized, so he hit her but she was loyal to him. “
Personally Cynthia Lennon said:” He was always jealous and had a darkness within himself. He wanted to trust me, but after watching me dance with friends, he claimed that I was unfair and beat me. “
Hunter Davis also wrote the book” John Lennon’s letter “where there are many examples of what he wrote to his wife. It could be one four-sided Christmas card that terminated almost like a song title: “I love you yes yes yes.” Or, as the letter from Hollywood in August 1965 during a break in the Beatles tour, where Lennon is pouring out of the guilt that he did not meet his son, he wants Julian to like him, “I stop now before I go low when I think of the mindless crap boot I seem to be … and the tears will now while I write.”
He could also write: “Dear Cyn, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you I love you I looove dej so I get mad I do I do YES YES YES I love you so CYN I love I love you Cynthia Powell, John Winston loves C. Powell Cynthia Cynthia Cynthia I love you I love you I love you forever and forever is not it great? “
Or this:” All I want for Christmas is you. “And:” I love you so do not leave me. “
Cynthia Lennon remarried three times after skilsmäsan with John Lennon. She became a widow as late as 2103 when her husband Noel Charles died.
When John Lennon was murdered in 1980 were interviewed Cynthia Lennon and Yoko Ono in “60 Minutes”
Here’re talking Cynthia Lennon out about her life with John Lennon, her short singing career – she recorded “Those were the days” as Mary Hopkin had a big hit with.
She also tells us that John was not at birth. Instead, he was on tour. Cynthia Lennon used to say that she is not married “with a Beatle, but a poor student who played the guitar.” She wrote two biographies of her ex-husband: “A Twist of Lennon” and “John”. On the last page of “John”, she writes: “If I had known as a teenager what it would mean to fall for John Lennon, I’d just turned around and walked away.”
