Yoko Ono has commented on those previously reported plans to broadcast taped interviews with John Lennon's killer, Mark Chapman, in a documentary timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Beatle's death. Needless to say Ono isn't impressed with the decision to air the interviews, which were recorded by biographer Jack Jones back in 1991 and 1992, and in which Chapman reportedly describes his feelings in the build up to shooting Lennon.
A spokesman for Yoko admitted that she is furious about the timing of the programme, telling reporters: "The timing of this is macabre. She thinks it's outrageous. We're not going to learn anything new from him. NBC granted an assassin's wish. It sends out a message to other disturbed people that killing is a way to fame."
