New Lennon steps into amazing shoes

For Adam Hastings it was either going to be a career in football or music.Thankfully the 24-year-old from Newcastle upon Tyne plumped for the latter and now belongs to one of the best-known tribute acts in the world.The Bootleg Beatles formed more than three decades ago and have since performed around the globe.The group has taken to the stage at Wembley Stadium, Glastonbury and were booked as the warm-up for Oasis at their 1996 Knebworth concert.Last year long-serving band member Neil Harrison stepped down from the role of John Lennon.And after several nerve-wracking auditions, Adam was eventually chosen to take his place.
