John Lennon famously urged the world to Give Peace A Chance. And his old pal and fellow music legend Elton John has revealed he believes the murdered Beatle would have gone on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Rocket Man singer made his prediction in a moving interview with John’s youngest son Sean for a BBC radio tribute to Lennon, who would have turned 80 this year.

Elton,73, said the star “wanted to bring people together” and would “go to any lengths” to do it. He also told 44-year-old Sean – whose mum is Yoko Ono –that his birth had helped to “mellow” his dad in the years before he was gunned down by Mark Chapman in New York in December 1980.
