Like John Lennon on a 1981 Rolling Stone cover

Answer:

NUDE

Hint:

Think of how the former Beatle was famously photographed without clothing for this magazine's iconic issue, shocking many at the time.

Explanation:

The 1981 Rolling Stone cover featuring John Lennon was famously shot by Annie Leibovitz just hours before his death, showing him curled up nude next to a fully clothed Yoko Ono. The clue references this iconic, unclothed pose—"like" hints at describing his appearance, not his name or another trait. "Nude" fits as the straightforward answer, capturing how he was photographed in that moment.
