Got to get you into my life: Argentine 'John Lennon' channels spirit of the Beatles
Argentine Javier Parisi has been a mega fan of the Beatles since the age of eight - forming a tribute band, playing at Liverpool`s Cavern Club, and promoting a biography in Spanish. He is also the spitting image of John Lennon.
Fans around the world have been remembering Lennon and his music this week, 40 years after he was shot dead in New York.
Parisi - who is 40 years old - first realized his striking similarity to the Beatle as a teenager.
"The physical resemblance obviously exists and then as time went by I began to study his character," Parisi, dressed as Lennon, told Reuters at his house in Lanús, a suburb of Buenos Aires.
In 2009, Allan Williams, the Beatles` first manager, came to Argentina and invited Parisi`s band to play at Beatle Week in Liverpool.
"As a fan and admirer, I said `that`s it, what else can happen to me?," said Parisi, who even studied Liverpool`s `Scouse` accent and Lennon`s way of singing.
