The album which John Lennon signed for his killer Mark Chapman hours before he was shot dead outside his home has gone on sale for £1.2million.<br />
<br />
Lennon autographed this Double Fantasy album for Chapman as he and Yoko Ono left the Dakota apartments in New York City for a recording session at 5pm on December 8, 1980.<br />
<br />
The crazed fan stashed the album in a giant plant pot at the entrance to the apartments and waited around until Lennon and Yoko Ono came back at 10.50pm and shot the former Beatle five times.<br />
<br />
The signed album was found in the plant pot by a passerby that night who handed it in to the police to be used as evidence in Chapman's trial.
