Paul McCartney Reflects on Media Twisting His Words Following Death of John Lennon.
On the morning of December 9, 1980, Paul McCartney was informed of John Lennon’s tragic death, which had occurred just hours earlier at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Lennon had been shot outside his residence at The Dakota shortly before 11 p.m. the previous night.
Reflecting in a later television interview, McCartney explained that he was emotionally overwhelmed by Lennon’s death, perhaps more than many might have realized. However, he admitted that expressing such sorrow publicly had never come easily to him. He recalled how, on the very day of Lennon’s passing, a journalist had suddenly approached him for a statement. Still in shock, McCartney gave brief and restrained answers.
