LONDON (AFP) – A British folk singer who expressed fears that success and wealth could ruin his songwriting revealed Monday how John Lennon sent him a letter of reassurance -- but it did not reach him for 34 years.
Steve Tilston was just 21 in 1971 when the megastar read an interview he had done with a magazine called ZigZag.

The correspondence was signed by Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono.
