About this listen

On December 8, 1980, the world lost a legend. John Lennon—iconic Beatle, peace activist, and voice of a generation—was shot multiple times outside his New York City apartment in a senseless act of violence. In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we unravel the twisted psychology of his killer, Mark David Chapman, whose obsession with fame and delusion collided in one of the most shocking celebrity murders in history. We explore Lennon’s final days, the eerie premonitions, the haunting symbolism of The Catcher in the Rye, and the dark underbelly of idolatry. This isn't just a story about a murder—it's about the cost of fame, the fragility of peace, and the sinister side of devotion.
