“He didn’t want people to just adore him. He wanted people to know what he is made of.” — Yoko Ono

A quarter of a century after his death, the questions remain: what was John Lennon really like, what drove him to the heights of creativity and the depths of despair, and why do his music and message still resonate for millions around the world? Now, in the audio version of The New York Times’ bestselling book, acclaimed broadcast journalist Larry Kane uncovers the mysteries of Lennon’s life and implodes the myths surrounding it. Kane, the lone American reporter who traveled in the Beatles’ official entourage during their history-making first American tours, stayed in touch with Lennon until an assassin ended the former Beatle’s life.

Lennon Revealed is filled with eye-opening revelations about John’s path from public glory to personal destruction, and ultimately to the inspiring rebirth that defines a triumph of the spirit. Kane provides stunning information about Lennon’s relationships with Ono, his childhood soulmate Stuart Sutcliffe, his lover May Pang, and Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Drawing on extensive personal accounts and extraordinary new interviews with more than 50 confidantes and experts—most notably, Yoko Ono—Kane brings the reader closer than ever to the charismatic man who, in life and in death, had a singular impact on humanity.

The exclusive DVD also features the rarely seen final filmed interview with Lennon and Paul McCartney, conducted by Larry Kane in 1968. Brief clips from this famous interview have appeared in just a few places, including the official documentary Imagine.

‘Larry Kane balances a journalist’s curiosity with an insider’s access to take us on a wild ‘Ride,’ one we’ll not likely see again in this or any other lifetime.”—Al Roker

What was it like to tour with the Beatles at the height of their fame, when adoring, screaming fans were out of control and complete hysteria followed their every move? This exclusive CD version of The New York Times Bestseller by award-winning author Larry Kane fulfils every Beatle-lover’s wildest dream: to get an inside peek and go backstage with the Fab Four.

Kane was only 21 — Paul McCartney’s age — when the band invaded America and Beatlemania struck. So, as opposed to the other fuddy-duddy reporters, John, Paul, George, and Ringo embraced him as one of their own. He became the only U.S. journalist who accompanied them every step of the way on their North American tour. And that means Kane saw and heard it all; not only was he granted exclusive interviews with the four every day in which they expressed their personal feelings and political beliefs, but he looked on as they met their idols (Elvis) and witnessed the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll that inevitable accompanied their fame. It’s a funny, touching, in-depth portrait of the lads from Liverpool who changed the world.
