John Lennon

December 8, 1980

Shots were fired on West 72nd Street in New York City. John Lennon was killed on his front door step and the Legend of The Beatles died with the rest of the world. Many people say that his death marks a day of mourning for a whole generation because at that time the cultural icon of everyone's lives was gone. Killed at his own house.

It happened 30 years ago but many reporters still remember that day very well and they don't remember it as just another celebrity going to heaven, they remember it as the end of the world.
The Beatles at that time were litterally the most famous band for that generation. Everyone knew who they were and alot of people worshiped the ground they walked on. Lennon being the front man of the group was more well known and his death ultimately caused the break up of the group.

Let us all have a moment of silence for this Rock hero*... he is very well missed
