In November 1980, on the eve of John Lennon’s untimely death, photographer Allan Tannenbaum had unique and total access to John and Yoko, who were emerging from five years of seclusion and avoiding the media. As one of the few photographers with whom John and Yoko were close, Tannenbaum was privileged to be able to capture many intimate moments between the two. John cherished these images of Yoko and was moved by their beauty and grace. The result is this moving book of photography about John and Yoko together, in the last weeks of his life. After John’s shocking murder in December 1980, Tannenbaum continued to photograph Yoko, and the vigils and memorials that immediately sprang up throughout New York City. Additional images—such as the prologue which documents, through a rare set of images, John Lennon’s last live performance in 1975—make this moving collection both a tribute to one of our greatest artists, and the celebration of a public and private love affair. Includes the following special features: - Never before seen photographs that portray a couple deeply in love—playful, spiritual, and remarkably at home in front of the camera while expressing their feelings for each other
