Lennon's final days captured by unseen lens

Photographer Allan Tannenbaum recounts his unique experiences documenting John Lennon during the musician's final weeks.

Tannenbaum's first encounter was in 1975, capturing Lennon's performance and rehearsal for 'A Salute to Sir Lew Grade,' which marked Lennon's last public appearance. This initial meeting set the stage for future collaborations.

Five years later, Tannenbaum reconnected with Lennon and Yoko Ono as they emerged from seclusion to promote their album 'Double Fantasy.' He secured an exclusive portrait shoot with Ono and later photographed the couple during candid moments in Central Park and at their home, creating iconic images.
