John Lennon & Yoko Ono: Find Your FaceMate
John met Yoko at a gallery exhibiting her art in London in November 1966. Intrigued, John tried to hammer a nail into piece of wood, which was actual a piece in Yoko's exhibit. Yoko stopped him; she had never heard of The Beatles. She offered to let him hammer the nail for five shillings. John made a famous counter offer. “Well, I'll give you an imaginary five shillings and hammer an imaginary nail in.”
“That's when we really met,” Lennon said. “That's when we locked eyes and she got it and I got it, and, as they say in all the interviews we do, the rest is history.”
John and Yoko began seeing each other while John was still married. Yoko called John at home, and he began making excuses to his wife. Then in May 1968 while his wife was on vacation, John invited Yoko to visit. John's wife, Cynthia, returned from her trip to find Yoko wearing her bathrobe drinking tea with John.
John soon divorced Cynitha and married Yoko in March 1969. They lived together through The Beatles' breakup writing music and promoting pacifist campaigns. They were intensely in love. “Before Yoko and I met, we were half a person.... But we are two halves, and together we're a whole.”
Eventually after living for years under intense public spotlight John and Yoko's relationship was strained. They separated in 1973 but remained in constant communication until they reunited two years later. Their son Sean was born shortly after, and John retired from music to care for him. John was murdered outside their apartment in 1980.
