Reports indicate that Lennon mistakenly consumed LSD during a session.

On March 21, during a pivotal recording session at Abbey Road, John Lennon, at just 26 years old, unknowingly ingested LSD. According to Ian Leslie, author of John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs, Lennon reached into a silver snuff box expecting to find an upper but instead ended up consuming a tab of acid. Almost immediately, he halted his vocal performance, expressing to Beatles producer George Martin that he was feeling unwell. It was Paul McCartney and George Harrison who quickly grasped the situation and rushed Lennon away, fearing he might leap off the rooftop, believing he could fly.

That same evening, McCartney chose to join his friend by taking LSD himself. Leslie notes, “Paul thought this was the perfect time to connect with John. He aimed to be there for him during his distress while also seeking a deeper emotional bond, highlighting his intent to reach out.”

Leslie describes the unexpected connection formed during their shared trip: “John and Paul often found themselves lost in each other’s gaze, an intimate moment that blurred their individuality. Paul later reflected how unsettling this was, realizing that such an experience changes your perception forever.” LSD usage, according to Leslie, had a profound impact on Lennon’s persona. “Those close to John remarked on a newfound gentleness he exhibited, coinciding with his LSD experiences. He seemed less irritable and more childlike, even displaying gestures of affection. However, this came at the expense of leaving him feeling vulnerable and directionless during his downtime.”

Lennon’s personality saw a shift as a result of his drug use.

In stark contrast, McCartney exhibited increased focus during this transformative time. Leslie elaborates, “Paul’s primary stimulant was cocaine, which he used to perfect his musical arrangements at all hours. Yet, he also recognized John’s need for guidance. By choosing to partake in LSD with John, he enabled Lennon to take the lead in the psychedelic experience, while also directing it toward fruitful songwriting endeavors.”

This dynamic is particularly evident in the track Getting Better. Leslie explains, “The song initiated with Paul in a positive mood, thinking, ‘It’s getting better.’ However, with John’s influence, the lyrics morphed to reflect his personal struggles – confronting his anger, past relationships, and regrets.”

McCartney’s focus sharpened as a result of his experiences with LSD.

“Incorporating John’s heavier reflections into Paul’s optimism, they collaboratively produced a track that chronicles John’s path to self-discovery. Leslie emphasizes the unique structure of their partnership: “During the recording of Sgt. Pepper, John’s creative output dwindled; he penned only three tracks. However, Paul was pivotal in drawing out more from him than anyone else could manage. No one, including John, ever doubted Paul’s belief in his own potential.”

By choosing to accompany Lennon during these psychedelic explorations, McCartney played a critical role in preserving their musical partnership while recalibrating its equilibrium. “It allowed John to assert his creative influence in some contexts, yet simultaneously kept him grounded within the band and in his relationship with Paul. It was a high-risk, high-reward dynamic that fueled their work on what became their most iconic album,” concludes Leslie.

John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs by Ian Leslie is currently available.
