A scathing letter from John Lennon to Paul McCartney is going up for auction.
The late Beatles legend – who was shot dead in 1980 – wrote to his former bandmate days after the ‘Live and Let Die’ hitmaker gave an interview critical of him and the Beatles to now-defunct music magazine Melody Maker in November 1971, and it is now expected to fetch at least $30,000 when Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction it off, TMZ reports.
