May Pang showcases her rare and candid photos of John Lennon at local Tallahassee gallery
Millions, if not billions of people across the world have heard of The Beatles, or at least heard the names John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. One name that often gets lost when combing through the history of The Beatles, however, is May Pang.
Pang, at the age of 73 was recently featured in the documentary “Lost Weekend.” In the film, Pang paints an intimate picture of her life and goes into detail regarding the ups, the downs, truths and lies regarding her relationship with John Lennon. What started as a magical weekend getaway, turned into a whirlwind romance between the two.
Over the years, Pang amassed a collection of rare photos she was able to capture throughout her time with John and his son Julian. The photographs themselves show a different side of John that is both humorous and beautiful. Some of the photographs have significance to them regarding The Beatles to include the last photograph of Lennon and McCartney together.
Pang has a story to tell, one that resembles a rock ‘n’ roll fairytale. When approached to do the documentary, Pang was hesitant. “People were asking me all the time about doing something like this, but I wasn’t ready to say yes,” Pang said.
By 2017, Pang was no longer taken aback about the idea of doing the documentary and began the process of combing through all the photographs and materials she had. “We could have finished it in 2020 but Covid slowed that up a little and that gave us time to look at everything.”
