Lennon’s so-called “Lost Weekend” was attended by a drunken fugitive in Los Angeles and friends Alice Cooper, Harry Nilsson, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and Micky Dolenz.

“People took up my story and talked about my life as if they knew everything about me, but they didn’t,” Pan explains. “I thought it was time to regain my history. It’s my version. If there was a movie about my life, I thought I should be involved. Who should talk better than me? Who? I lived it. These are my memories. No one like me experienced it. Why should I let someone else talk about my time with John? Do I have to? He understood better than anyone. He told me, “May, that’s your opinion. It’s your life. People are talking about you. And they will lie about it. “

Recalling how romance began in 1972, Pan says. “Yoko kept pushing, but waited for John to make the first move. That wasn’t what I wanted. Then I asked him,” Where is this going? ” Is called. And he will say,’I don’t know. Tired of being pushed away. And what do you know? I’m just going to do that. He wasn’t happy with his marriage, which made the lives of everyone around him miserable. “

“I felt terrible, and I told John that,” she says. “Yoko was calling 10 to 15 times a day to find out what was going on. I didn’t know much, she was fooling him at the same time. I didn’t know. And John didn’t know. We found it together. “

“I just wanted to treat him as a normal person. I didn’t want to be his mother, but I acted as his secretary, his personal assistant. I called for him. When we got together, I wasn’t working for him anymore, but I wanted to help him with his daily routine. I just wanted to be with me and him. . “

Looking back at that time, Bread said: “Let’s say this. The time with John may have been short, but everything in the meantime was monumental. The last time he jammed with Paul, I was there … I We played the tambourine with Mal Evans. We saw the UFO together. “

Bread has also collected many souvenirs, including drawings and photographs, since her time with Lennon.
