John Lennon Exhibit To Feature Bloodstained Clothes

A New York exhibit centered around the life of John Lennon will feature a paper bag filled with the late singer’s bloody clothes from the day of his death.

The exhibit also includes handwritten lyrics, guitars, the piano from his apartment, a pair of “his trademark wire-rimmed glasses,” and letters recounting his battle against deportation in the 70s.

Widow Yoko Ono, who said she feared “criticism” for the exhibit, also said, “I know it’s a kind of a sad and very poignant kind of paradox, I think, that he loved this place so much and this is where he was killed.”

She said she was still coming to terms with Lennon’s death.

“If it was a slow a process we could have talked about it or something,” she added.
