A previously unheard John Lennon song completed shortly before his death contained a "spooky" prediction of his tragic fate.
The song, Help Me TO Help Myself, refers to "the angel of destruction" hounding him. The track is included on a reissued
version of Lennon's final album Double Fantasy, released today October 9, 2000, to mark what would have been his 60th birthday.
The lyric he penned for the track include the lines, "well,
I tried so hard to stay alive, but the angel of destruction
keeps on hounding me, all around, but I know in my heart that
we never really parted."
A spokesman for his record label Parlophone said it was
"spooky" that his words could be interpreted as such a pointed
reference to his impending death.
The reissued album also includes the last track Lennon
completed on the night he died December 8, 1980.
Lennon's killer, Mark Chapman, was last week, October 6,
turned down for parole – Wenn.
