Lennon & Elton John were good friends & when Elton & Lennon co wrote this song In 1974, Elton wagered with Lennon that if the song made it to #1, Lennon would have to appear on stage with him. Lennon accepted convinced that the song would not do that well. When the song reached #1, Lennon made good on his promise by appearing on stage with Elton John at Madison Square Garden in New York. It would be Lennon's final concert appearance. Also, look for the song "Empty garden" by Elton John-it was a tribute to Lennon after he died.
