I am joined by Brian Grant the director of the Britbox documentary Lennon's Last Weekend a not to be missed program. Today mark’s the 40th anniversary of the death of one of music’s greatest icons John Lennon. Earlier on that same day, he said goodbye to BBC Radio One D.J. Andy Peebles who had spent the weekend doing the last and possibly the most detailed interview ever given by the formal Beatle. After avoiding any interviews Lennon knew that he would have to something to promote his almost soon to be released Double Fantasy.Despite agreeing to a short twenty-minute interview with Peebles, the two hit it off and Lennon and Ono spent eight hours over what would turn out to be the final weekend of his life-giving his most lengthy, comprehensive, and honest interviews ever. Lennon spoke very openly about everything from The Beatles break-up, working with fellow music legends on their projects, producing solo albums, and life in New York.The tapes of that extraordinary interview are the focus of a brilliantly crafted documentary “Lennon’s Last Weekend,” that is streaming now on Britbox here in the U.S. “As the true home of Great British programming, BritBox is proud to be sharing this beloved British icon’s story with our audience,” said BritBox President and CEO, Soumya Sriraman. “I hope this documentary provides a way for John Lennon’s fans to celebrate his life and legacy in what would have been his 80th yearThis is a five star must-see documentary for anyone who is a music fan but especially for those who loved the Beatles.
