Lennon was shot dead just over a decade later at 40, while Harrison died of cancer in 2001, aged 58.

For the Lennons, making a new life in the United States was rife with opportunity for continuing the social activism that they had begun with their notorious bed-ins and “Give Peace a Chance.”

His new book, “John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs,” is, astonishingly, one of the few to offer a detailed narrative of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s partnership.

He made his big screen debut in 1952's Moulin Rouge and later starred in films such as Brass Target, Brother Sun, Sister Moon and How I Won The War, opposite John Lennon.

Based on one of Lennon's old demo tapes, and featuring an archive recording of Harrison's guitar work, it went to number one and was nominated for awards at the Brits and the Grammys.
