In the morning of December 8, 1980, photographer Annie Leibovitz was chosen to capture John Lennon for the next cover of rolling stones. We saw the former Beatles totally naked, in a fetal position and hugging Yoko Ono in her arms.
It was the singer himself who demanded that his partner also appear in the photo, although she refused to undress and appeared fully dressed. In this strange position, Lennon kissed almost greedily Yoko Onoin front of his impassiveness.
The most curious? What John Lennon never saw this image published as it took hours before he was shot outside his apartment by a fan and killed by Mark David Chapman.
