The surviving members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, released the band's final song, 'Now and Then', on Nov. 1, which included contributions from all four members.
A three-part documentary, 'John Lennon: Murder Without A Trial', was released by Apple TV+ on Dec. 6, featuring interviews with eyewitnesses, some speaking publicly for the first time.
An estimated 100,000 Beatles fans flooded The Dakota and Central Park in the hours after Lennon's assassination for a tear-filled vigil that shut down traffic across several blocks of Manhattan.
