Did john lennon have a daughter?
John Lennon has no biological daughters or granddaughters, he does however have a stepdaughter and at least one stepgranddaughter.
Kyoko Chan Cox was the daughter of Lennon's second wife, Yoko Ono and her second husband, Anthony Cox. After Ono and Cox divorced in 1969, Ono was given full custody of their daughter, but Cox abducted the eight year old.
After John Lennon's murder, Kyoko and Cox sent a condolence letter to Ono. It wasn't until 2001 that Ono and her daughter were reunited, with contact being made in 1997.
At the beginning of the song "Happy Xmas (War is Over)", you can hear Lennon and Ono wishing a "Happy Christmas" to both Kyoko, and John's son Julian.
Ono and Lennon also co-wrote a song titled "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow".
Kyoko is married, and has at least one child, a daughter Emi.
Did John Lennon ever cheat on his wife?
If you mean Cynthia,yes.Constantly.The Beatles song 'Norweigian Wood(This Bird Has Flown)' was John trying to tell Cynthia without telling her face to face.When she was on a holiday(I think,well,she was somewhere far from the band!),John invited a,I think a Japanese flower arranger,Yoko Ono.
Eventually,the two became inseperatable.I have a feeling when Cynthia found out about Yoko and,if ever,the other affairs,she would/was MAAD!
Later John &Yoko married.They had two kids,Julian(the song 'Hey Jude'was for him by Paul & John about John & Cynthia divorcing.),from John's marrige to Cynthia,and a new son named Sean (pronounced Sh-aw-n).
Later John & Yoko made new bands,John's solo band and The Plastic Ono band.
It wasn't made clear that John and Cynthia had Julian, I think.
Also, in John's first interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he stated that he and the other Beatles took part in an orgy in Sweden in 1963. Various biographers have claimed that the Beatles never missed an opportunity to bed down with women while on tour. They often had their roadies, Mal Evans and/or Neil Aspinall, do their pimping for them - this according to John himself, in an interview on the Tomorrow show with Tom Snyder.MP
Why did john Lennon have a airport named after him?
Yes. The airport in Liverpool is named after John Lennon. Keep in mind that Liverpool was The Beatles' original "hometown".
Which song did Paul McCartney record on his own without any of the Beatles?
In their early days they did cover versions of '50s rock & roll songs, including 'Long Tall Sally' by Little Richard and also tracks originally done by Chuck Berry and Elvis. Other than that, he didn't sing much that wasn't written by him, Lennon or George Harrison for as long as the band were together, although following their break-up and after Paul had formed his own band Wings, he did sing a number of songs not written by him personally and also cover-versions, including of the Scottish folk-song 'Mull Of Kintyre' and a soft-rock version of the nursery rhyme 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'.
Yes, I know who is Lennon Ledbetter; I had the opportunity to be with him in Utah; He is a multi-multimillonaire now, and is a wonderful man, plenty of compassion and humble. Incredible right? but it's true; he is an LDS active member (Mormon) and he has the love and appreciation of all the people who knows he.
Is the person who killed john Lennon still alive?
Yes, both of his sons are still alive. His first son Julian is now 49 years old, and is an established musician in his own right. His second son Sean Ono Lennon is nearly 37 years old as of September 2012, and is also a musician as well as being an actor. He lives mostly in the USA, and his godfather is Elton John.
Does John Lennon have any other talent?
I don't know what you mean, but he sings, plays the piano, plays the organ, and is a great actor and comedian.
Are Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon friends?
Julian Lennon is John Lennon's son from his first wife, Cynthia. He was born in 1962. He has some affiliation with some later Beatles songs.
The song Hey Jude was written by Paul on his way to visit Cynthia and Julian to help him get over his parents' divorce.
Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds, contrary to the barbaric belief that it stands for LSD, was written by John about a painting that Julian had done at school which he replied, when John asked what it was, 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds.'
The song Good Night was also written by John (but sung by Ringo) for Julian as a lullaby to help him get to sleep.
What comment did john Lennon make that was controversy to US?
The full quote in London's Evening Standard went: "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that. I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick [meaning stupid] and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me. I don't know which will go first - rock and roll, or Christianity."
Lennon had been reading The Passover Plot (whose author suggested that Jesus had faked his own death on the cross, to be "resurrected" later), which he naively expected to sound a kind of death knell for Christianity, in the wake of declining church attendance and interest in religion among young people.
The comment came and went in Britain, with no fanfare; months later, an American teen magazine printed the quote out of context, and it turned into "The Beatles are bigger than Jesus Christ!" (which wasn't even what he said, or suggested), as the Beatles were on what turned out to be their last concert tour.
Christians in the US did not appreciate the quote very much, and organized public record burnings. Even the Vatican issued a statement: "Some subjects must not be dealt with lightly, even in the world of beatniks." Under pressure from his bandmates and manager Brian Epstein, Lennon made a public apology at a press conference in Chicago, during the summer of 1966.
Lennon: "I suppose if I had said television was more popular than Jesus, I would have gotten away with it, but I just happened to be talking to a friend and I used the words "Beatles" as a remote thing, not as what I think - as Beatles, as those other Beatles like other people see us. I just said "they" are having more influence on kids and things than anything else, including Jesus. But I said it in that way which is the wrong way."
Reporter: "Some teenagers have repeated your statements - "I like the Beatles more than Jesus Christ." What do you think about that?"
Lennon: "Well, originally I pointed out that fact in reference to England. That we meant more to kids than Jesus did, or religion at that time. I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this."
Reporter: "But are you prepared to apologize?"
Lennon: "I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry."
Lennon remembered the experience years later as the "Jesus Christ Tour", and wrote in a memoir "I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days."
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky
Now that I found out, I know I can cry!

Was John Lennon on Forrest gump?
Visual effects with archival footage. His dialogue was probably a voice over.
What lessons in life were learned from John Lennon's death?
* You do not get a life by taking someone else's away. * If you're a celebrity, don't tell the media too much about your work schedule or travel plans. * If you're a journalist, don't write in detail about a celebrity's work schedule or travel plans. (Unless they're WAY out of date.) * The State of New York should have had a first-degree murder law to convict Chapman with. (They didn't, so he was convicted of second-degree murder; instead of being executed, he ultimately became eligible for parole.) * Gun-control laws would not have saved John Lennon. They didn't help George Harrison any.
What were John Lennons main accomplishments?
That after his death he was still remembered and that people still kept him in mind. :) Ilovejb(justin bieber) <33

What impact did John Lennon have on the history?
He was part of the greatest band of all time and is one of the most famous musicians. He is also know for his peace activism.
Why did John Lennon not were clothes?
Lennon and Yoko Ono appeared in the nude on the Two Virgins album cover as a statement: "You know this Beatle thing you've heard about? This is how I am, really. This is me, naked, with the woman I love." The pair decided to release an album of the tape they had made their first night together, playing with tape loops and random instruments in Lennon's "home studio" at Kenwood. (The cover shots were taken privately later, in Ringo Starr's Montagu Square apartment where they stayed after Lennon moved out of Kenwood.)
Lennon originally wanted to produce an album with Ono, picturing her naked on the cover "because her work is naked - pure and childlike and simple." He did produce albums with and for her in the 1970s, which Apple Records released but didn't bother to promote, and they went largely ignored by the public and blasted by music critics. When the Beatles dissolved their business partnership in the mid-70s, Lennon had to buy the albums back from Apple. Ono re-released them on CD in the 1990s, to belated critical praise.
