All You Need Is Love…And These Facts About John Lennon

He was raised by his aunt

When John was just four years old his parents separated and at which time his mother handed him over to her sister to live with. His Aunt Mimi believed she was able to give him a better life than his mother could so he moved out to the suburbs of Liverpool.

Aunt Mimi was highly dismissive of John’s musical ambitions and as a teenager she would often tell him “The guitar’s all right John, but you’ll never make a living out of it”.
