WEB: JOHN LENNON’S ASSASSIN HAD A HIT LIST & DAVID BOWIE WAS NEXT...According to Bowie, New York City police discovered that his name was next on a hit list of targets of John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman. David Bowie-DLL-131210 At the time of Lennon’s December 8, 1980 ****** outside of his Manhattan apartment, just blocks away David Bowie was starring on Broadway in the play The Elephant Man. “I was second on his list, the detectives said”, Bowie told me in the New York studio we shared near Madison Square Garden.”Chapman had a front-row ticket to ‘ The Elephant Man‘ the next night. John and Yoko were supposed to sit front-row for that show, too. So the night after John was killed there were three empty seats in the front row. I can’t tell you how difficult that was to go on. I almost didn’t make it through the performance.” The irony is that David Bowie’s first #1 hit “Fame”, from the Young Americans album, was co-written with Lennon who also played guitar on the track. And it was indeed their fame as rock stars which drew Mark David Chapman to stalk them, and subsequently to ****** Lennon. –Redbeard
