OneManJury 84 Posted January 4, 2023 She’s looked dead since the 1970’s. What was JL thinking of? Must have been sky-high on LSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He - sort of - told people what he was thinking; Everybody's got Something to Hide Except for me and my Monkey is basically a kiss off to everyone who thought to comment on their relationship and in particular, her appearance (as in she's the "Monkey" in me and my Monkey). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,086 Posted January 4, 2023 She is evil. She wouldn't let the guy play at all in the 70s unless she could get up on stage and screech. One example being when Elton played Central Park in 1980 and he was hoping Lennon would turn up for a song. He sang the song by himself in the end, making a spiky comment about how the person who wrote was just a few blocks away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted February 18, 2023 Releases online wish tree in celebration of her 90th birthday, with help from her son. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/yoko-ono-online-wish-tree-90th-birthday-b2284333.html Also does anyone think John Lennon would still be alive if he wasn't assassinated? I think he would have died in 2014, aged 74, he never struck me as particularly healthy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCartney as well but to a lesser degree. Lennon I would have thought was more on the side of George Harrison, they were both known drug users. If Lennon had died of cancer in 2004, aged 64, it wouldn't have surprised me the least bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,577 Posted February 18, 2023 Beatles nerd coming in. Ringo was a quite sickly child (had tuberculosis) and couldn't/can't eat certain foods. He had to have his tonsils removed when Beatles were on tour in 1964 which is why Jimmie Nicol replaced him for a short time. Ringo even had to leave India in 1968 after less than two weeks as he couldn't deal with the food. He did also turn into an alcoholic but as far as i'm aware not touched a drop since the 80's. By the 70s i'm pretty sure most of the band were vegan or vegetarian. Paul is more healthy than Ringo. Based on John's lifestyle i'm sure he would have lived until after 2000 if other medical conditions or Yoko didn't get in the way. His father lasted until he was 63 and Aunt Mimi died aged 85. All three of his sister's are alive and in their 70's. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has had COVID, but still does concerts. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Ringo outlived Paul. I can see Ringo living into his nineties, not Paul though.

In theory, both look well enough to last five more years, possibly ten plus. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKeysOfMarinus 390 Posted February 21, 2023 I think both men are dead certs to get well into their 90s, but that may be my Beatles fandom speaking - I am really dreading them going. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
