Lucy Vodden, Lucy in the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” has died after a long battle with Lupus at the age of 46.

Her death was announced by St. Thomas’ Hospital in London, where she had been treated for the disease for more than five years. Her condition came to light in June this year when Julian Lennon reached out to help her.

Despite claims even today that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was a song written about LSD, John Lennon always insisted that it was inspired by a drawing son Julian did as a child.

The story goes that Julian drew a picture of Lucy while in nursery school in 1966, took it home and explained it as “Lucy in the sky with diamonds.”
