Just let it be-er?
A Beatles superfan has claimed that he saw the face of “Imagine” icon John Lennon in a freshly poured pint of beer while on a birthday tour of the band’s landmarks.
Lee Baker, who was drinking with friends at the Cavern Club in Liverpool — where The Fab Four rocked in their pre-invasion days — said he spotted the music legend in the foam of his friend’s brew, and it “felt like a sign” from above.
“When I saw John Lennon’s face in my mate’s pint, it was a bit spooky, it felt like a sign,” the 51-year-old told Jam Press. “I was minding my own business and just glanced down and happened to see it. It also made us laugh for ages. It’s been a joke between us ever since.”
Of his “all you need is suds” moment, Baker added, “It was from before his bearded era in the ’70s, when he was more clean-cut.”
The father-of-two and his wife and two other friends traveled to the homes of both Paul McCartney and John Lennon, as well as legendary landmarks such as Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and the Cavern Club.
“I’ve always been a Beatles fanatic. I grew up in the ’70s and my mom and dad were huge Beatles fans too, it was the music I grew up listening to,” said Baker.
“John Lennon is my favorite Beatle. I like the fact that he was a little bit off the cuff, a genius, he was quite angry at times, he was outspoken — he sent back his MBE to the queen,” Baker added.
“He was the leader, he was just the main man. I know Paul McCartney was equally as talented but John had the charisma that Paul lacked.”
Note: Baker said that Lennon’s face is the only famous person he has ever seen in a drink.
“Unfortunately I’ve not seen any other famous faces in a pint before or since,” he said. “I’ll definitely keep an eye out in future in case anyone else makes an appearance.”
