The first memoir to tell the story of John Lennon and Yoko's life from the Beatles split to John's untimely death in 1980 - from the inside. Honest, insightful, humane, revealing, it will bring the lives of two cultural icons to life like never before.

A personal and revealing look at the last 10 years of John Lennon’s life and his partnership with Yoko Ono, written by the friend who knew them best, publicist and music industry insider Elliot Mintz.

Elliot Mintz spent his life working with some of the biggest names in show business, but perhaps the most important and influential partnership he had was his work and close friendship with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. In his memoir, We All Shine On, Mintz finally tells the story of their relationship, which has spanned more than 50 years and continues to this day.

Through beautifully written chapters that are personal, revealing, and full of intriguing details, Mintz transports readers from his first interview with Yoko in 1971, through the years that he supported the couple both personally and professionally through creative highs, relationship and private challenges, fascinating interactions with the other former Beatles, and the happiest moments of their lives together, Sean Lennon’s birth and childhood. And, of course, Elliot was by Yoko’s side in the days, weeks, and months after John’s murder, when Elliot eventually became the official spokesperson of the Lennon estate.

Perfect for Beatles fans and music lovers, this book will provide an intimate and revealing portrait of John and Yoko as people, partners, and friends, and most of all, celebrate the friendship that John, Yoko, and Elliot shared for so long.

Praise for We All Shine On

It’s hard to define the relationship Elliot had with our family. But I ultimately think the best word to describe him is: friend. Perhaps our closest friend. The reason I wanted Elliot to write a book, first and foremost, is because he is a good storyteller. The fact that he was there in the lives of John and Yoko (and mine), is really just icing on the cake. I like hearing him talk, and I’m sure you will, too.

Sean Ono Lennon

A vivid account of the decade he [Mintz] spent as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s confidante, fixer, and friend… It’s a captivating and intimate window into the complicated lives of one of rock’s most legendary couples.

Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

A charmingly modest tale of a long brush with stardom, with all its pleasures and frustrations.

Kirkus Reviews

Credible, candid, detailed and well-written

Mojo

A fascinating ringside seat into the psychodrama of the most compelling celebrity couple of the 1970s

Observer

A new layer of Lennon understanding
