John Lennon's tragic comments about assassination revealed - 'They could get you in Disneyland'.
In new book We All Shine On – John, Yoko, & Me, confidant and helper Elliot Mintz reveals secrets about the couple after he befriended them as a radio host in 1972.
John Lennon shunned bodyguards in the lead-up to his death. The former Beatle was warned by friends that his relaxed attitude in New York City was dangerous – and he would tragically pay the ultimate price.
In 1976, Lennon said: “All my life, I’ve had guys around me who were supposed to be protecting me. When the group toured, there were hundreds of police but if they want to get you, they’re gonna get you. They could get you in Disneyland.
“Look at all the people that Kennedy had around him. I don’t need bodyguards. I don’t want them. I’m just a rock’n’roll singer. Even the thought of it makes me cringe.” Moments later, Lennon added: “I’ve never been afraid of death. To me, it’s just like getting out of one car and into another.”
