[Fox News]   While Beatles fanatics may believe that the psychidellic track “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is a coded reference to the drugs that probably helped create the song, Lennon always refuted the claims. According to him, the reference came from his son, Julian, who brought home a picture he had drawn at school of one of his classmates describing it as his friend Lucy ‘in the sky with diamonds’. Lennon jumped on it and the song went on to be a huge part of the Sgt. Pepper’s album and the school girl who inspired it became a small time celebrity.

Sadly, Lucy Vodden passed away last week after a five year fight with lupus. Lucy had gone on the record saying that while she loved the Beatles, she never quite related to the song. Julian and her remained close in recent years and the family has expressed condolences to her family.
