Why did john Lennon get assassinated?
Who can say what goes on in the mind of a madman. Some people will do anything for fifteen minutes of fame. Around 5 p.m. on 8 December 1980, Lennon and Ono left the Dakota to supervise the transfer of some of the Double Fantasy album numbers to singles. David Geffen said that more than 700,000 album copies had already been sold up to that time. As they were leaving the Dakota, they were approached by several people seeking autographs. Among them was a young man later to be identified as Mark David Chapman, and Lennon signed his autograph on the Double Fantasy album cover for him. A picture was taken by another fan while Lennon was signing Chapman’s album, capturing soon-to-be killer and victim on film only a few hours before Lennon’s murder. The Lennons spent several hours at the studio on West 44th Street before returning to the Dakota at about 10:50 p.m. John was concerned about seeing five-year-old Sean before Sean went to sleep, so they returned to the Dakota instead of going out
