Sean Lennon claims John and Yoko were the first power couple

In a recent documentary directed by Kevin Macdonald, John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s relationship during the 1970s is explored, including John’s only full-length concert after the Beatles at Madison Square Garden in 1972. Sean Lennon, their son, provided insights into how the couple influenced one another and were perceived by the public. He argued that they were not only a married couple but an artistic and political union, stating they were the first power couple, likening them to modern celebrity couples. The film includes extensive archival footage, revealing the struggles Yoko faced from Beatles fans who unjustly blamed her for the band's breakup. This documentary also aims to change the public perception of her role within the band, emphasizing that she often remained in the background during the Beatles' sessions.

Sean emphasized that their bond remained intact, claiming that John’s work during that time frequently reflected his ongoing thoughts about Yoko. Overall, the documentary portrays the complexity of their partnership and the external misconceptions they faced, shedding light on their enduring legacy as a couple in the music world.
