John Lennon, former Beatles legend turned peace activist, was tragically assassinated outside his New York City apartment by Mark David Chapman, a deeply disturbed fan obsessed with Lennon and influenced by The Catcher in the Rye. Lennon had faced intense government scrutiny and deportation attempts due to his outspoken anti-war stance, becoming a symbol of peace and political activism. Chapman, struggling with mental illness and grandiosity, targeted Lennon as a way to claim fame and express his disillusionment, ultimately shooting him multiple times in cold blood. Lennon's death shocked the world, ending the life of a cultural icon whose messages of love and peace continue to resonate decades later.
