Yoko Ono 'told her late Beatles star husband John Lennon how to take heroin after experiencing "a beautiful feeling" on the drug for the first time'


Yoko Ono reportedly told the late John Lennon how to take heroin, according to a new book about his band the Beatles.

According to the excerpt of the interview published by The Sunday Times, Yoko first 'had a sniff of' heroin in Paris, saying she had 'a beautiful feeling' as a result of the drug. In 1970, John recalled the first time he took heroin, telling Rolling Stone it was 'not too much fun' and he 'never injected anything'. George Harrison is said to have accused Yoko of getting John onto heroin (The Beatles members (L-R) Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon pictured in 1967)
