Every four years, the world comes together for the Olympics, a time of both competition and camaraderie in the name of sport. But as with any type of contest, there are times when the players don’t see eye to eye, including at this year’s games in Paris. On Friday, Ana Patricia Silva Ramos of Team Brazil and Brandie Wilkerson of Team Canada faced off in women’s beach volleyball. At one point during the game, the pairs could be seen arguing with one another at the net. (It is unclear what the discrepancy was over. Additionally, this writer’s knowledge of professional beach volleyball rules is n...

Uri Geller is "elated" to have bought John Lennon's glasses for £40,000. The 77-year-old illusionist has revealed himself to be the winning bidder from an auction at Farleigh gold club in Surrey on Wednesday (31.07.24) and he's delighted to have got his hands on the late Beatles' legend's blue-tinted round framed spectacles at much less than he was willing to pay. He told the BBC: “John Lennon and I were very good friends while we were living in New York in the 1970s. “I knew I had to buy these glasses whatever. I would have gone up to £500,000. Glasses are a passage into our soul, into our ps...

John Lennon's son believes it is his "duty" to "bring attention" to the late star's solo work. The 'Imagine' hitmaker was shot dead in 1980 and while he is best known as a member of the legendary group The Beatles, Sean Ono Lennon - whose mother is artist Yoko Ono - thinks it is important for "the world" to look at the "personal" nature of the music he wrote in his final years. Sean - who has been working on a re-release of John's 1973 album 'Mind Games' - told The Sunday Times newspaper: “One thing that distinguishes my dad’s solo career is how personal his lyrics became. "It is like a diary,...

Beatles live albums didn’t really used to be a thing. They came off the road in August 1966 and the group’s first official concert recording, The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, wasn’t released until 11 years later. Three Beatles had issued live LPs in the meantime: John Lennon with 1969’s Live Peace in Toronto, George Harrison with 1971’s The Concert for Bangladesh and Paul McCartney with 1976’s Wings Over America. The knockoff Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany 1962 had only arrived a few months before the Hollywood Bowl recordings. Not much. Then the next decade would see exactly one...

Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He certainly seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer. Lennon took over those duties after three straight projects with co-producers Phil Spector and Yoko Ono. He clearly couldn’t place enough distance between himself and the material to make the ...

Sir Paul McCartney enjoyed a "super low-key" family celebration for his 82nd birthday. The Beatles legend - who was born on 18 June, 1942 - was joined by wife Nancy and his five children, Heather, Mary, Stella, James and Beatrice, for dinner at the 17th century Boys Hall hotel in Ashford, Kent, where they enjoyed a "feast" in a private part of the establishment.

Switzerland’s Supreme Court is set to decide if a priceless watch given to John Lennon by Yoko Ono will be returned to the late Beatles legend’s widow. She claims the Patek Philippe 2499 was stolen by a since-fired chauffeur, while an unnamed Italian national says he legally purchased the item. “To me, if anything, the watch is just a symbol of how dangerous it is to trust,” son Sean Lennon tells The New Yorker. The Patek Philippe 2499 is an unusual artifact in that the company produced fewer than 350 of them between 1952 and the mid-’80s. Known as a perpetual calendar chronograph, the watch r...
