    John Lennon was shot 35 years ago
    
    Remember the big star of the Beatles , John Lennon.
    
    John Lennon was an English musician who gained worldwide fame as one of the members of the Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism and pacifism. He was shot by Mark David Chapman in the archway of the building where he lived, The Dakota, in New York City on 8 December 1980. Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.
    
    After sustaining four fatal gunshot wounds, Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at Roosevelt Hospital. He was 40 years old. At the hospital, it was stated that nobody could have lived for more than a few minutes after sustaining such injuries. Shortly after local news stations reported Lennon's death, crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of the Dakota. Lennon was cremated on 10 December 1980 at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York; the ashes were given to Ono, who chose not to hold a funeral for him. The first media report of Lennon's death to a US national audience was announced by Howard Cosell, on ABC's Monday Night Football.

  lucianomorelli Really impressive. Why not in sepia color ?
  
  SplatShot Thanks Balo, and Lu!
  Lu, it does have a 40% sepia overlay applied. Compared side by side to a true B&W I'm sure you would be able to see.
  
  SplatShot Thanks, Newsy!
  B&W is a hard sell. I'm happy you guys liked it!~ And thanks for all the great comments and votes, everyone.
