John Lennon<\/a> with glasses.”<\/p>\nLeo recalled how he was offered suspicious cigarettes by Lennon before he found fame as he worked at a studio where the ‘Imagine’ hitmaker’s wife Yoko Ono lived.<\/p>\n
\nThe 76-year-old singer said: “I worked at a studio where Yoko Ono lived upstairs.<\/p>\n
\n“John Lennon used to come down for a smoke. He’d say, ‘Want a ciggie?’ I’d say, ‘I’ve got one’. He’d say, ‘No, try one of these’.”<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘When I Need You’ artist also described how he received a phone call from Elvis Presley just a day before The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s death in 1977.<\/p>\n
\nLeo said: “He seemed to really like me. Smashing conversation. He invited me the next day to Graceland.<\/p>\n
\n“That was crazy. What a circumstance.”<\/p>\n
\nThe star revealed that he discovered that Elvis’ appreciation of his music was genuine when he encountered the music legend’s then-girlfriend Ginger Alden.<\/p>\n
\nSayer explained: “She said, ‘Look, I have to tell you that the last time I was with him, he was jumping up the stairs singing ‘You Make Me Feel Like Dancing’. It’s extraordinary, so fantastical.”<\/p>\n
\nLeo will be touring the UK and Ireland with a host of festival shows this summer and revealed that he has ambitions to play the Legends slot at the Glastonbury Festival.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “I’d love to do it.”<\/p>\n
