PETER GRANT meets two women in Lennon's life . . .
Liverpool Echo
IT WAS a sight that made many people at the Cavern Club do a double take.
Two beautiful women that John Lennon had loved sitting there together.
In the world-famous club, Cynthia was promoting her great biography called simply John, while May was promoting her new Feng Shui jewellery and planning an exhibition of her photos of her and John's brief life together.
Both likeable and caring women knew John well, of course, and will never forget where they were when the world was told the Beatle had been murdered.
Cynthia was staying with Maureen, Ringo's first wife, and it was the grief-stricken drummer who phoned her with the bad news.
As for record industry producer May Pang - she was phoned by David Bowie's secretary. Bowie and May shared many fond memories of John, as did Mick Jagger.
But now many fans and friends want to wipe away the stark memories of that night 25 years ago.
Says Cynthia: "My most fond memories of John are of when we first got together.
"To watch his metamorphosis was fascinating: student, father, Beatle and creative genius.
