It was 30 years ago today that John Lennon died. I remember that day in 1980. I was making Christmas decorations when the news came over the radio. I didn’t know too much about him but I recall my mother being absolutely shattered and playing nothing but his music for weeks and weeks.
Do you remember where you were (if you were born yet)?
Here is his last interview….given on the day he died…

I was in the car with my Gran. The news came on the radio, 'Former Beatle John Lennon has died in New York -'
Gran said, 'Probably drugs.'
It’s really bizarre, but whenever someone with such a high profile dies, it just seems so unreal. Like they are so far removed from my day to day life that it’s impossible that they would ever die.
I wasn’t alive when John Lennon died, but I remember Heath Ledger’s death really clearly. It was awful. I think because he was a friend of a friend (we’d never met) and he was also from Perth....it was so surreal. People like that aren’t meant to die. He was only in his twenties.
