“I don’t want to be trapped again, with the same musicians making the same sound”: New John Lennon documentary sheds light on his dark, tragic, final decade

Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade.

A new documentary, pieced together from unseen footage and carrying all-new interviews with those present at the time and nearest to the star, promises to tell the ex-Beatle’s post-Beatles come-down story that, it seems, – so far – the big names have successfully kept under cover.

New documentary, Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade, comes via Alan G. Parker the maker of Hello Quo and It Was Fifty Years Ago Today… Sgt Pepper And Beyond and features classic interviews with all the usual suspects (Lennon, Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney) plus new, perhaps more candid chat from Tony Bramwell the Apple Records CEO, Earl Slick, Lennon’s guitarist), Vinny Appice, his drummer, and tour manager Henry ‘The Horse’ Smith.
