It's a bit of a parallel with Buddy Holly's early demise in terms of checking out at the peak of your popularity...
im not a huge elvis fan. but im a huge Lennon fan and i dont think he was past his prime i just think yoko was getting to many songs on the albums. but what makes it such a famous/infamous death is that he was in the beatles and released some pretty huge selling albums and on top of all that he was murdered wich makes it so infamous.
