James Taylor released his 20th studio album ‘American Standard’ in February 2020, with the album going on to win Best Tradition Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys.

Last year, the singer revealed that he met John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman the day before the Beatles icon was shot dead.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Taylor said that Chapman, who was 25 at the time, was said to be “glistening with sweat” and “his eyes were dating all over the place… dilated like crazy”.

Recalling their encounter, Taylor said that Chapman “seemed either drugged or in a manic break of some sort”. He also remembered that Chapman mentioned Lennon in conversation and said he was “going to show him” something.

Live music with no restrictions is set to return to the UK next week (July 19) as the country prepares to drop all COVID-19 rules. Despite this, over half of the UK’s festivals set for this summer have already been cancelled.
