The Disturbing Truth Behind The Beatles Song “Dr. Robert”
Lennon & Harrison’s chilling confessions exposed Dr. Robert’s horrifying secrets & identity, forever changing how you’ll hear the song.
On a spring evening in 1965, John Lennon, George Harrison, Cynthia Lennon, and Pattie Boyd attended a dinner party hosted by a friend, only to unknowingly fall into a trap. What began as a casual gathering quickly devolved into a night of visions, hallucinations, and dangerous hidden agendas.
Their host had a sinister ulterior motive and expected The Beatles to fall into his scheme, which they did — but things didn’t go entirely as planned. This is just the beginning of the unsettling story behind the real “Dr. Robert’s” double life.
Decades later, a chilling confession from both Lennon and Harrison revealed the horrifying truth about “Dr. Robert’s” true intentions, double life, and the night he secretly drugged The Beatles.

1965 was a turning point for The Beatles. Thanks to Bob Dylan, they had recently discovered cannabis a year before. Their music was becoming increasingly experimental, and they were on top of the world with their second film, Help!
During this time, George Harrison befriended a doctor who inspired John Lennon to write a classic song featured on the 1966 album Revolver. The song “Dr. Robert” was a tribute to their friendly, feel-good doctor who was more than a little generous with his prescription pad.
