Lennon’s murder outfit to go on show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 14 May 2009
The bloodied clothes John Lennon was wearing when he was shot by Mark Chapman in 1980 have gone on display, donated by Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono, at an exhibition of memorabilia related to the star called ‘John Lennon: The New York Years’ at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Annex.
Ono said of the clothes, which were given to her in a plastic bag by police after their investigation in to the murder was closed, that they were “hard to include”, but added: “It’s important people understand what violence is about”.
