Read John Lennon's furious letter sent to Linda and Paul McCartney, 1971

We’re dipping into the Far Out Magazine vault to bring you a scathing letter written by a furious John Lennon and Yoko Ono to Paul McCartney and his wife Linda. It offers a fascinating insight into the relationship of The Beatles songwriting duo following the band’s split.

The typed letter, which includes multiple handwritten additions from Lennon, is undated but research suggests that is dated back to 1971 in the immediate months after The Beatles called it a day. It’s a stark reminder of hos far the duo’s friendship had come in such a short space of time.

Signed by both Lennon and Ono and written underneath their Bag Productions Inc. letterhead, Lennon is replying to a letter Linda McCartney had sent him prior—a missive that he is seemingly furious about. “I was reading your letter and wondering what middle-aged cranky Beatle fan wrote it,” he began.
