Lennon Rumors Revisited: Ono’s Claim and Epstein’s Spain Trip Stir Debate

Paul McCartney says Yoko Ono told him shortly after John Lennon’s 1980 murder that she thought he might have been gay, a claim he says he didn’t agree with. Ono later discussed Lennon's openness to bisexuality in 2015. The rumor legacy traces to a 1963 Spain trip with manager Brian Epstein, plus various private accounts and public reflections about social pressures around sexuality; Lennon never publicly confirmed such rumors and was killed in 1980.
