His rebellious ways and his anti Vietnam stance caused President Richard Nixon to have him investigated by the FBI which resulted in several attempts to have him deported. His music and lyrics became rallying themes for the anti war movement in the USA. On Dec 8th 1980, three weeks after he released Double Fantasy he was murdered in front of his home, the Dakota on the upper west side in Manhattan at just 40 years old.
