    Mark David Chapman, the man shot shot and killed music icon John Lennon, has been denied parole for a 14th time.

    In an update to the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision’s digital records, it was revealed that Chapman appeared before a parole board on Aug. 27, where the convicted murderer was denied parole. Chapman will continue serving his 20 yea`r-to-life sentence at least until his next parole hearing, which is set to take place in Feb. 2027.

    During a 2020 appeal for parole, Chapman expressed deep regret for shooting Lennon, telling officers that he deserved the death penalty for the “despicable” act he committed. ““I assassinated him … because he was very, very, very famous and that’s the only reason and I was very, very, very, very much seeking self-glory. Very selfish,” he said in a 2020 parole hearing. In 2022, Chapman reiterated his point, saying that he had a “selfish disregard for human life” in murdering Lennon.

    John Lennon was famously shot by Chapman on Dec. 8, 1980, as the Beatles member was returning to his New York apartment building The Dakota, alongside his wife Yoko Ono. Chapman was arrested shortly after shooting Lennon, when he was found on 72nd Street reading a copy of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.

    Meanwhile, fans of the Beatles are gearing up to listen to the re-release of the band’s iconic Anthology collection, which is due to be released this fall. The new collection, which will also feature a refurbish of the original Anthology book, will include a re-release of the original 1995 TV series on Disney+.
