Yoko Ono has revealed plans to write an autobiography about her eventful life with John Lennon.

“I would love to do it. I just have to find the time,” the 76-year-old widow said. “It will be my next book, which will be written in the next five years.”

Yoko - who was blamed by many Beatles’ fans for causing the legendary band to split - previously claimed she wouldn’t release a book for fear of hurting the families of people close to the group, including Lennon’s ex-wife. John and Cynthia - who had a son Julian together - divorced in 1968, one year before his marriage to Yoko, the mother of his son Sean.

Lennon later died in 1980 after being shot by deranged fan Mark Chapman outside his New York apartment building.

Ono is looking forward to revealing all about their affair and dispel the myths surrounding the band’s break-up.

“Unlike Cynthia, Yoko has never really told her side of the Beatles story and the truth about her affair and subsequent marriage to John, so the book will be much awaited,” a Beatles expert said. “She’s always maintained she never broke up The Beatles, so this will be her chance to put the record straight.”
