The Beatles: John Lennon and Yoko Ono used Imagine to write Happy Xmas War is Over

THE BEATLES' former songwriter John Lennon wrote himself some incredible hits throughout the years after his split from the band - but his Christmas anthem could not have been written without some help from his previous hit, Imagine.

Former member of The Beatles John Lennon worked on a lot of music with his wife, Yoko Ono, following the Fab Four’s break up. Collectively known as John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band, Lennon worked hard in creating his own vibe during releases of his solo music. Perhaps his first and biggest hit was the 1971 anthem Imagine, which has since been named one of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

While Imagine was a certified banger, it did include a political message of Lennon’s making.
