In other news, letters and drawings by late Beatle, John Lennon, are going to be published in a new book. Hunter Davies, a Beatles' biographer convinced Yoko Ono to sell the rights to Lennon's collection of letters to record companies, news publications and fans, as well as several personal drawings. The book does not currently have a title, but will be released in October of 2012, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four's debut single “Love Me Do.”
As a Beatles fan, I'm excited for this to be released, more so because I'm interested in seeing the types of things Lennon would draw. But then again, don't even The Beatles deserve some form of privacy? Till now, these personal letters and drawings have never been seen by the public. Should it not be kept this way? I know it's just another cash-grab, but I feel like this is an invasion of privacy Lennon probably wouldn't be extremely pleased with.
