Really excited to be playing New York Times Square at 1pm this afternoon!” To promote his latest project, the legendary Beatles singer performed songs off his upcoming album entitled New which is scheduled to be released on October 15th.

Marilyn Monroe’s Suicide Note Up For Auction
Marilyn Monroe wrote a scratchy suicide note to her fried Lee Strasberg and now it’s available for auction along with 250 notable documents online. The documents will be on display at Douglas Elliman’s Madison Avenue art gallery in the photo’s her handwriting is hardly legible at times but that isn’t surprising. Some of what I could make out she says, “My will is weak but I can’t stand anything. I sound crazy but I think I’m going crazy.” She definitely seemed crazy in the note. You have to physically go to the gallery to see John Lennon’s rant to Paul McCartney after the Beatles broke up, or Dwight Eisenhower’s secret love letters, but you can check out the suicide note in the gallery above.

The Real Reason The Beatles Broke Up!
Years after their break-up, Yoko Ono is opening up for the first time about the real reason why The Beatles broke up. I’m curious why she decided to open about about what she calls “the divorce” now after all these years. Yoko said that John was pleased with the break-up since all the members said they began to feel like they were Paul’s back-up band and not a united band. Yoko also claims that Ringo and George came to her and John to talk to them about leaving the band before they split while Paul was attempted to keep the band together. Ono also said that Lennon really did miss his bandmates. It’s a shame that they split when they did, but more importantly that John and Paul never spoke after their split and never really got the chance to peace things up. Read what Yoko said below.
