A scathing letter from John Lennon to Paul McCartney is going up for auction.
The late Beatles legend – who was shot dead in 1980 – wrote to his former bandmate days after the ‘Live and Let Die’ hitmaker gave an interview critical of him and the Beatles to now-defunct music magazine Melody Maker in November 1971, and it is now expected to fetch at least $30,000 when Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction it off, TMZ reports.
It read in part: “It’s all very well playing ‘simple, honest old’ human Paul in the Melody Maker, but you know damn well we can’t just sign a piece of paper.Article contentWe apologize, but this video has failed to load.“As I/we’ve said many times – we’ll meet you whenever you like. JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND…
“Now I was quite straight with you that day, and you tried to shoot me down with your emotional ‘logic’.“Who’s the guy threatening to ‘finish’ Ringo and Maureen, who was warning me on the phone two weeks ago? Who said he’d ‘get us’ whatever the cost? As I’ve said before – have you ever thought you might possibly be wrong about something?”Article content
