“John Lennon’s dead body lay 100 meters from me”: Lyubov Uspenskaya spoke about the murder of the iconic rock musician 05/13/2023, 15:15

The chanson queen has experienced many personal dramas, but no one knew about one of the significant events of her life before. Only now did Lyubov Zalmanovna decide to admit it. She witnessed the murder of the frontman of the rock group The Beatles.

The artist spoke emotionally about the shock he experienced. “I was in New York at the time, sitting in a restaurant, and police cars and ambulances started rushing by. Then I realized they were going to the scene of John Lennon’s murder. Literally 100 meters away from me lay Lennon’s body, “said Ouspenskaya.

John Lennon was shot on December 8, 1980. Mark Chapman was waiting for the artist near his home in Manhattan. The man wanted to become famous, and another motive was the rejection of the artist’s lifestyle. Lyubov Zalmanovna emigrated from Russia in 1978 and lived in America for 15 years.

In the new episode of the First Channel Neformat podcast, the singer also talked about cooperation with her daughter. Tatyana Plaksina is an aspiring singer. “During work, she is not my daughter. I can be quite strict, but then, when I see her singing, I can come and praise her, kiss her hands, because this is my own person, “the star assured.

Lyubov Uspenskaya was going through a tense period in her relationship with her daughter. However, they managed to resolve all the contradictions. The chanson queen assured that she would make Tatiana a “big star”.
