David’s new book, YOKO, available April 8, 2025 from @SimonBooks, was nearly a half century in the making. In 1980, he met Yoko Ono and John Lennon when he conducted an in-depth interview with them just months before John’s murder. In the aftermath of the killing, Yoko and David became close as she rebuilt her life, survived threats and betrayals, and went on to create groundbreaking art and music while campaigning for peace and other causes. 

Drawing from his experiences and interviews with Yoko, her family, closest friends, collaborators, and many others, he tells an intimate story of one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived. This book shows Yoko’s place in history and her profound influence on art, music, feminism, and activism.
