It would have been John Lennon’s 85^th birthday tomorrow and to mark the occasion, a recently discovered interview with the ex-Beatle is to air on Boom Radio.

The interviewer was the ex-Capital Radio DJ Nicky Horne, who spoke to Lennon in his Dakota apartment in 1975, shortly before he took a five-year break from the music business.
