Friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono reveals their surprising obsession: 'Endless questions'


Mintz, a media consultant, was close with the couple in the decade leading to Lennon's shocking murder at the age of 40 on December 8, 1980 in New York City.

'John kept a journal where each day he would write what his weight was,' the pair's friend Elliot Mintz, 79, said in excerpts of his upcoming memoir We All Shine On: John Yoko & Me, which is set to be released Tuesday. Mintz initially crossed paths with the famous pair during his time as an announcer for radio and TV based out of Los Angeles, once conducting an interview with Ono, 91, about her 1971 record Fly.
