Never Heard of Him
There are a few conflicting accounts about when and how the couple met. However, most sources say that John and Yoko first met in November 1966 at Indica, a hip London art gallery where Yoko was holding an art exhibition.

Although The Beatles were one of the biggest bands in the world, John told Rolling Stone magazine that his future wife had no idea who he was. “She’d only heard of Ringo, I think,” Lennon said in 1971. Regardless of whether Yoko was playing coy or not, she got John’s attention. “She came up and handed me a card which said ‘breathe’ on it, one of her instructions, so I just went [pant]. This was our meeting.”
