IT'S TRUE!

Beatles legend John Lennon was raised by his aunt as his father left him when he was only five years old. His mother handed John over to her sister. His aunt was intolerant of John's aspirations as a rock musician, and told John that he would never make a living out of the guitar. John kept in close contact with her, calling her once a week until his death in 1980. John was also an avid writer of short stories and poetry. He wrote three books which were published posthumously. In numerous interviews, Lennon said he hoped to write a book of children's stories when he was old and retired from music.
