Explanation
Yoko Ono and John Lennon met at an art galery. John Lennon was a singer, he was born in Liverpool, he belonged the group of The Beatles. Yoko Ono was a japanese artist, she was born in Tokio.

Their relationship caused a lot of discomfort from the beginning.
From 1967 to 1980, they formed a very controversial couple with a concept of free love.

She exerted a great personal and professional influence on John Lennon and many people blamed her for the fall of the Beatles.She was a member of the music Fluxus Collective. She sang many songs and helped her husband. She was a singer when she met him.

The couple remained together for 13 years until 1980, a crazy fan of the musician, ended the life of Lennon and ruined the story of love. Lennon's murder left Yoko Ono a widow and a boy.

Still, she always lived in the shadow of John Lennon. She is currently leading the fight against the ' Frac King ' and his son Sean is a singer. Nowadays, she is still a singer.
