It was the soul of the Beatles who killed him. It was a psychopath:
John Lennon (John Lennon, 1940.10.9 - 1980.12.8), the supreme leader of the British Empire The holder of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE for short) is a rock musician, singer, composer, artist, actor, and pacifist. He is world-famous as one of the founding members of The Beatles. The combination of Lennon and Paul McCartney was one of the most successful and influential songwriting groups. Together they created the most famous rock songs in history. Lennon displayed a bohemian personality and extraordinary wit on television, in movies (such as A Hard Day's Night), in books (such as In His Own Write), and in interviews. Some of his deeds as a pacifist and artist have been controversial.
After his time with The Beatles, Lennon became an accomplished solo singer, during which time he released such well-known songs as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After a brief hiatus from 1976 to 1980, Lennon returned with his new album. However, a month later, he was shot and killed in New York on December 8, 1980.
Lennon has two sons: Julian Lennon (born by his first wife, Cynthia), and Sean Ono Lennon (born by his second wife, the Japanese avant-garde artist Yoko Ono).
In 2002, according to a BBC poll, John Lennon was ranked 8th among the 100 greatest Britons of all time. In 2004, in Rolling Stone Music Magazine's review "Immortal Figures: The 50 Greatest Musical Artists of All Time", John Lennon ranked 38th, while The Beatles, which he and Paul McCartney co-founded, ranked first. .

On December 8, 1980, John was shot dead at the door of his apartment. The murderer, Chief Mark David Chapman, fired six shots. The music fan was later captured by the police and sentenced to live in a mental hospital for life. At 2 pm on December 14, Lennon fans around the world mourned for him for 10 minutes. His unexpected death also caused the global sales of records such as "Double Fantasy" to soar.
In the years following Lennon's death, his influence and reputation grew. Until the mid-1980s, some tracks that had not been released by Lennon during his lifetime were gradually released, and the video of a charity performance he participated in in 1972 was also collected by many music fans. In addition, in order to commemorate Lennon, several founding members of the Beatles also re-recorded several old songs that were popular in the 1970s in 1995. These songs later appeared on the charts in 1996 as new songs.
Across the year 2000, “Lennon fever” has re-emerged. A large number of books have been published about this cultural icon, the more famous of which include Geoffrey Giuliano's "Lennon In America", Robert Rosen's "Nowhere Man: The Final Days Of John Lennon", and "Lennon Remembers: The Full Rolling Stone Interviews From 1970" 》. It can be said that Lennon and his Beatles influenced an entire generation and will continue to do so.
Even the Liverpool Airport in the UK is named after John Lennon, and uses the lyrics "Above us only sky" from John Lennon's famous song "Imagine" as its slogan.
