John Lennon: Yoko Ono says relationship with The Beatles legend 'RUINED' her career
John Lennon first met Yoko Ono back in 1966. The Beatles icon later fell head over heels in love with the artist and they tied the knot in 1979. But the relationship wasn’t always easy, with Ono remembering the backlash they faced from fans all over the globe.
In an interview with The Telegraph in 2012, she recalled the impact being with Lennon had on her art career and how their marriage affected the direction of his music.
“In a way both John and I ruined our careers by getting together,” she said. “Although we weren’t aware of it at the time.”
After getting together with Ono, Lennon moved away from mainstream music, The Beatles splitting just a year after they were married.
She encouraged him to explore more experimental music and he drew her attention into their relationship and away from her art.
