Synopsis

A quarter of a century after his death, the questions remain: what was John Lennon really like, what drove him to the heights of creativity and the depths of despair, and why do his music and message still resonate for millions around the world? Now acclaimed broadcast journalist and author Larry Kane uncovers the mysteries of Lennon's life and implodes the myths surrounding it. Kane definitely has the right credentials for the job. He was the only American reporter to travel in the Beatles' official entourage to every stop on their history-making first American tours, and he stayed in touch with Lennon until an assassin ended the former Beatles' life in 1980. Lennon Revealed is filled with revelations about John Lennon's path from public glory to personal crisis, and ultimately to his inspiring rebirth and the triumph of his spirit. Drawing on extensive personal accounts and extraordinary new interviews with more than 100 confidants-most notably, Yoko Ono-Kane presents stunning revelations and brings the reader closer than ever to the man who, in life and in death, has had an incalculable impact on humanity. Includes an exclusive DVD featuring the final interview with Lennon and Paul McCartney, conducted by Larry Kane.

From AudioFile:

Launching his career as a reporter on the Beatles' first two tours of America, Larry Kane continued to follow the group throughout their career--as evidenced by the bonus DVD, on which Kane, looking every bit the "straight" sixties reporter, interviews a fully psychedelicized--and typically cheeky--John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1968. Coming on the heels of Kane's previous opus, TICKET TO RIDE, this book focuses on the most charismatic member of the band, and the one Kane had the closest personal relationship with. As the title suggests, the book attempts to examine the man behind the superstar facade. As a TV professional, Kane seldom slips in his narration. His warmth makes the book a revealing memoir as opposed to a gossip-filled exposé. J.S.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
