Lucy,who was in the sky..

For all those who acknowledged that the terms magicians and musicians were coalesced into a single form for the bunch that was "The Beatles" , it's time to bid farewell to someone that was made hugely known eponymously through one of the Beatles masterpiece.

Lucy Vodden,the inspiration for the Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” has died, following a long battle with the autoimmune disease lupus. The British housewife — whose passing was announced by the St Thomas’ Lupus Trust charity — was 46.

Quoting WSJ,
"Vodden first achieved pop culture fame as a tot, when John Lennon’s son Julian drew a picture of her in nursery school in 1966. He took the picture home to his pops, explained it as “That’s Lucy in the sky with diamonds,” and a song legend was born."


The actual drawing and Lucy herself.

"Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,

Towering over your head.

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,

And she's gone."
