15 Nov
Summary
- Cynthia Lennon was married to John Lennon from 1962 to 1968
- She was by his side during the rise of The Beatles
- Cynthia pursued art and writing after her divorce from John
Cynthia Lennon, the first wife of John Lennon, has been a central figure in the life of the legendary Beatle. The two met as art students in Liverpool in the late 1950s and married in 1962, just months before The Beatles became one of the biggest acts in the country. Cynthia was by John's side during the band's meteoric rise, but their marriage ultimately ended in divorce in 1968.
After the divorce, Cynthia continued to pursue her own creative passions, including art and writing. In 1978, she published a memoir titled "A Twist of Lennon," which contained her own illustrations and poetry. She later wrote another biography, "John," in 2005, providing a unique perspective on her famous ex-husband's life. Cynthia also remained involved in the Beatles legacy, participating in conventions and events to support the band.
Cynthia's life was not without its challenges after her split from John. She remarried three times, but found success in her own right as an artist and author. Tragically, Cynthia passed away from cancer in 2015 at the age of 75, but her story continues to captivate fans of the Beatles and those interested in the personal lives of the band's members.
