John Lennon's final interview surfaces in a new AppleTV+ documentary.

According to Kay, this interview marked a significant moment in Lennon's life, as it came five years after the singer had retreated from the public eye and ceased all interviews.

As the interview begins, Kay wastes no time in asking the pressing question on everyone's mind, leading to Lennon's extended period of silence.

"I am saying here I am now. How are you? How is your relationship going? Did you get through it all? Wasn't the '70s a drag?" Lennon replied. "Here we are, well let's try and make the '80s good, ya know?"

The conversation shifted toward Lennon's political views, a topic Kay found particularly fascinating.

"People have the power. They have the power to make and create the society they want. I think it is time for a change," Lennon told the interviewer. "We think we are broken up into these fragmented pieces — countries, s----, races — it's a joke. Imagining no countries, imagining no religion, just imagine it. Would it be so terrible?"

Later in the interview, Lennon's enthusiasm for his upcoming music projects becomes the focal point. Kay describes his excitement in great detail, emphasizing just how much the musician was looking forward to his return to the world of music.

"Any artist or poet's role is to try and express what we all feel. That's the job, not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all," he said. "I consider that my work won't be finished until I am dead and buried. I hope that's a long, long time."

Tragically, Mark David Chapman, in an act of incomprehensible violence, took the life of the beloved Beatles star later that day.
