Rumor also has it that John Lennon died a broken and dispirited man, because he was always haunted by the fact that after hearing Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" he realized that the best song he had ever heard was written by someone else.

The Rumor I heard was Lennon died because the idiot assassin Mark David Chapman was a bad shot and missed Yoko.

Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale"

Their "A Salty Dog" album is one my Desert Island Discs.

I thought he died a broken and dispirited man because he was always haunted by the fact that he married Yoko Ono.
