Who married Yoko Ono?

Yoko Ono (小野 洋子（おの ようこ）​, Ono Yōko^?, Tokio, 18 de febrero de 1933) es una artista conceptual, cantante y música japonesa.​ Integrante durante años del colectivo Fluxus.​​​

Ono ejerció una gran influencia personal y profesional sobre John Lennon. La artista japonesa se hizo notar desde los primeros momentos de la relación. Muchos dicen que Yoko fue la responsable de la separación de The Beatles.​ Las filmaciones durante las sesiones de grabación de Let It Be muestran un grupo de por sí cansado y al borde de la exasperación por parte de todos sus miembros. Como dijo Paul McCartney: «Mil cosas se podrán decir, pero la verdad solo la conocen cuatro».​ Sus discos en colaboración con John Lennon incluyen Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins, Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions, Wedding Album, Some Time in New York City, Double Fantasy y el póstumo Milk and Honey.

Yoko Ono llegó al punto de organizar conciertos en que el público tenía que imaginar por sí mismo la música. Editó un célebre libro de dibujos y piezas de arte, Grapefruit (Pomelo),​ varias películas conceptuales (como Fly) e innumerables discos marcados por el experimentalismo. Entre ellos se destacan las obras Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, Fly, Approximately Infinite Universe (años 1970) y Season of Glass (años 1980). En los años 1990, sacó dos discos que fueron muy bien recibidos por la crítica: Rising y Blueprint for a Sunrise. Hasta hoy, sus mayores éxitos han sido «Walking on Thin Ice» y, en menor medida, «Never Say Goodbye».

Toshi Ichiyanagi (一柳 慧, Ichiyanagi Toshi; 4 February 1933 – 7 October 2022) was a Japanese avant-garde composer and pianist. One of the leading composers in Japan during the postwar era, Ichiyanagi worked in a range of genres, composing Western-style operas and orchestral and chamber works, as well as compositions using traditional Japanese instruments. Ichiyanagi is known for incorporating avant-garde techniques into his works, such as chance music, extended technique, and nontraditional scoring. Ichiyanagi was married to artist Yoko Ono from 1956 to 1962.

John Winston Ono Lennon (born John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician and activist. He gained global fame as the founder, co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles. Lennon's songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in history.

Born in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1956, he formed the Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. He initially was the group's de facto leader, a role he gradually seemed to cede to McCartney, writing and co-writing songs with increasing innovation, including "Strawberry Fields Forever", which he later cited as his finest work with the band. Lennon soon expanded his work into other media by participating in numerous films, including How I Won the War (1967), and authoring In His Own Write (1964) and A Spaniard in the Works (1965), both collections of nonsense writings and line drawings. Starting with "All You Need Is Love", his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the counterculture of the 1960s.

In 1969, he started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, multimedia artist Yoko Ono, held the two-week-long anti-war demonstration bed-in for peace, and left the Beatles to embark on a solo career. Lennon and Ono collaborated on many works, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums and several more films. After the Beatles disbanded, Lennon released his solo debut John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and the international top-10 singles "Give Peace a Chance", "Instant Karma!", "Imagine", and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". Moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year deportation attempt by the Nixon administration. Lennon and Ono separated from 1973 to 1975, during which time he produced Harry Nilsson's album Pussy Cats. He also had chart-topping collaborations with Elton John ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night") and David Bowie ("Fame"). Following a five-year hiatus, Lennon returned to music in 1980 with the Ono collaboration Double Fantasy. He was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman, three weeks after the album's release.

As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number-one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his second-best-selling non-Beatles album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. That year, he won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC history poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and 38th-greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994).
