John Lennon, who co-founded the Beatles and had a prolific solo career before he was assassinated in 1980, would have turned 75 Friday. His birthday was set to be celebrated in Hollywood with a gathering at his Walk of Fame star and a Day of Peace in his honor. In New York City, about 2,000 people turned out to form a giant peace sign in Central Park earlier this week.

Lennon was born Oct. 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. After forming the group the Quarrymen in 1957 he met Paul McCartney. The following year, guitarist George Harrison joined the group, and they changed the band name to the Beatles in 1960; Ringo Starr became their drummer in 1962. The group skyrocketed to international fame with songs like “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “All You Need Is Love” and “Hey Jude.”
Lennon died in 1980 at age 40.
