It was 30 years ago that the world lost a legendary singer and songwriter.
It was December 8th back in 1980 that Beatles co-founder John Lennon was gunned down in front of his New York apartment by a crazed fan, Mark David Chapman.
With Lennon's help, The Beatles shot to international fame in the 60s and to date have sold more than a billion records worldwide.
Lennon later had a solo career, with his hit "Imagine" being one of the most popular songs of all-time.
Lennon was also remembered for his stance on peace and being against the Vietnam War with wife Yoko Ono.
