Cynthia Lennon has died

I was one of those teenyboppers too specki but my real inner venom was for Pattie Boyd as GeorgeI was madly in love (!) with George.
Strange how we see people so differently when we are older. I loved those years and am pleased I was a teenager in the '60s. RIP Cynthia. It was quite a life you had.

So sad - Cynthia Lennon was only seven years older than me! She was part of our lives for a long time. RIP x

But she's the only one still writing and performing these days [I don't really count Paul]; much as I loathe men who play away from home and leave their wives I do think she and John were soulmates and that The Beatles had run their course by then. She was way ahead of her time with conceptual [sp] art.I do agree that Paul was always the good guy, just as Keith Richards is in The Stones.I doubt if John was the easiest of people to live with. My best friend looked just like her at the time and we had such strange looks when we went out.

Good Grief thatbags you must be young! I was one of those teenyboppers who loved to hate poor Cynthia because he was married to her! They tried to keep her married status quiet at first so as not to mar the Beatles image.

She loved John so much and he treated her so badly.

What makes me laugh about Yoko is that she only found real fame and prosperity off the back of John - even more so since his murder. It was common knowledge at the time that they weren't even living in the same apartment! You would think that the Beatles' success was all down to her when you hear her comments.

I think the demise of the Beatles had a lot to do with Yokos arrival:

I didn't hit him; I don't know why.

I definitely live(d) in a well-known-people-free bubble. I'd never heard of Cynthia Lennon till I saw this thread. I assumed she was connected in some way to John Lennon but beyond that zilch.

i saw on line this morning that Yoko's "tribute" to Cynthia included a photograph of the two women together, along with their sons. Yoko talked about the Beatles family. Yoko doesn't seem able to accept that not everything is about her

Yoko Oh No (love it) always gave me the creeps.

Heard this morning on the radio that Hunter Davis (Davies?) says Cynthia was very badly treated by John Lennon even to the point that he slept with Yoko Oh No (like it) in his and Cynthia's home. What a love rat and yet I love his music.

Sad news. I've always thought of Yoko Ono as Yoko Oh No.

Sorry to hear about Cynthia. She always seemed a very nice person.

No, that's one weird lady.

Sad news, never did take to Yoko Ono.

I think she married a further three times after John. Julian was her only child, they seemed extremely close. I read her book a few years ago. Obviously, it is her side of the story but it was so sad the way her and Julian were treated after he met Yoko.

I once heard on the Radio, Paul McCartney describe how John left her and their son. Apparently, Paul helped her out financially, after she was left destitute.

She certainly came across as a dignified person. x

She seems to have had a rotten life, doesn't she? Perhaps not, though, as I believe she married again. Did she have any more children?

Yes, I didn't think she was 75! She always came across as a very gentle and dignified person and I'm sure her family will miss her deeply.

Oh that is sad - it is so hard to imagine these celebs being so old. They are set in aspic in my mind as being young.

A very touching tribute by her son
