Monster launching John Lennon doc

Monster Entertainment has picked up the rights to The Last Lennon Interview, a one-off doc about John Lennon, featuring an interview with the star conducted two days before his assassination.

The show went out on the Showbiz channel in the UK on the Freeview plartform. It is based around a December 1980 interview between the former Beatle and Radio 1 DJ Andy Peebles, which was at that point his first radio interview for five years.

Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Andy Peebles reveals for the first time what happened during the last John Lennon interview, two days before the rock star was murdered.

It covers the break-up of The Beatles, his personal life and relationship with Yoko Ono.

Monster will also launch another music-related doc at MIPCOM, ARTE and ZDF’s Kings of the World.

The one-off 4K doc tells the story of thee gypsy clans that have a rich musical heritage, including the Reyes family, which produced The Gypsy Kings.
