Former Beatle John Lennon changed the world - musically, politically, culturally. And when the news broke on December 8, 1980 that he had been gunned down in front of his New York City home, that world mourned. Most tragically, at the time of his death, John was experiencing a renaissance in his life. With the release of Double Fantasy - his first new studio album in years - John was prepared to tour, write and return to an active role in leading pop music and pop culture. All of that was cut short, as Dr. Kenneth Womack's book - John Lennon 1980: The Last Days in the Life - discusses.
