On his new John Lennon book, the author said: “Ultimately, I think the seasoned fan who may know these stories and quotations will enjoy the rush of energy associated with John’s last year.

“Experiencing, almost in realtime, that headlong push that he was engaged in that got him into that space where he was creating again.

“That kind of inspirational tale of tilting at greatness and making it happen. It’s what we all want for ourselves, I believe.”

1980 saw Lennon travelling all over the world, from his Florida estate and home in Long Island to stopping off in South Africa and sailing to Bermuda in June.

It was then at the end of the summer in 1980 than Lennon began recording his first album in five years at New York’s Hit Factory.

A geographically orientated book, Womack will take “the readers into those places so they can experience the excitement of John’s last year and how he brought all those wonderful songs together.

“He was very attuned to politics, literary arts – particularly non-fiction – and the way they merged to bring a very different picture of what life may have been like for him in his last year.”

John Lennon 1980: The Last Days In The Life by Kenneth Womack is out now.
