John Lennon was kicked out of club in 'Lost Weekend' period

John Lennon and Yoko Ono's volatile relationship erupted in the early 1970s.

In late 1973 the famous Beatles star separated from his wife of four years and left their home in New York City to move to Los Angeles. Lennon became nocturnal and reportedly began drinking - hard - every night in rock clubs throughout the city. He even reportedly had an 'affair' with 22-year-old May Pang, Ono's former assistant. The rocker also took sabbaticals to Las Vegas where it is claimed he was thrown out of venues.

Lennon was often accompanied by Tony King - a fixer and friend to many rock stars throughout the 1960s and 1970s. On top of becoming close confidants with the Beatle, he also hung out with the likes of Freddie Mercury, The Rolling Stones and Elton John.
