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.

The Beatles and Beyoncé Lead Grammy Buzz with Historic Nominations

The Beatles have been nominated for two Grammy Awards for their final song "Now and Then," which was restored using AI technology. Originally a demo by John Lennon from the late 1970s, the song was completed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr after filmmaker Peter Jackson's team used machine learning to separate the vocals and instrumentals. The song is up for Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, despite the Grammy's rules on AI, as it contains only elements of AI material.
