NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With approval from Yoko Ono, Krantz Media Group will release, "John Lennon: The Final Interview" Radio Special, as an exclusive download, on Apple iTunes available Tuesday, February 8th, 2011. The special centers on John Lennon's last radio interview, along with Yoko, recorded at The Dakota in New York City, only hours before Lennon's tragic death on December 8th, 1980.  The special aired on over 150 radio stations worldwide this past December, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Lennon's death.

"This historic radio event celebrates the life and music of John Lennon, focusing on a truly joyous interview that was conducted as he was beginning a brand-new phase of his career," said Gary Krantz, President/CEO of Krantz Media Group.
