Lennon left the Beatles in September 1969, just after they completed recording Abbey Road. The news of the break-up was kept secret until McCartney announced his departure in April 1970, a month before the band released Let It Be, which was recorded just before Abbey Road.

According to Sarah Bruce, this indicates that he had died and been replaced by a body double. Also within the album cover is a license plate that has the registration “LMV 28IF”, 28 being how old he would have been IF he had been alive.

Moreover, on the right side of the road is a black police van, believed to be a reference to the police who kept quiet about Paul McCartney’s “death”.
