Lucy Vodden, a childhood friend of Julian Lennon and the supposed inspiration for the classic Beatles tune "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," died last Tuesday from complications from lupus. Though many music fans contend the song is actually just a thinly veiled LSD reference, Lennon's family maintained the story of Julian coming home and presenting his father a picture of his classmate and describing it as "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." The younger Lennon and his mother Cynthia, who had supported Vodden with gifts during her illness, said they were "shocked and saddened by the loss of Lucy and their thoughts are with her husband and family today and always." Vodden was forty-six years old. [Spinner]
