I was awakened by the news by my clock radio, went to school, dazed and tearstained, and broke down and had to be helped out of assembly by a friend..... My older brother had been a great fan, I sort of grew up with John, Paul, George and Ringo as additional elder brothers. When I heard John was dead, it was like losing my own brother again, at an age when I could understand it more. Strangely enough, it resolved a lot of the anger and grief I had, but never really understood from when my brother died when I was 9 and he 17.
