Chuck Berry Treated For PTSD After Hearing Yoko Sing

A New tell all book by Chuck Berry’s plumber reveals that Chuck was stricken with PTSD. Bill Osmer writes that after the infamous Yoko incident on The Mike Douglas Show, Chuck was never the same.

John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono co-hosted the daytime talk show, The Mike Douglas Show for an entire week in February, 1972. One of Lennon’s guests that week was his idol, rock legend Chuck Berry. The two performed a killer version of Berry’s 1959 song, “Memphis, Tennessee”. The backing band included Yoko Ono. Never one to miss an opportunity to insert herself where she doesn’t belong, Yoko hijacked the song.

Visibly Shaken

Yoko joined the band onstage and waited for her chance to strike. She started banging on the bongos but then realized it was not all about her. About one minute into the song she began screeching and caterwauling into the microphone. Her dolphin-esque vocalizations throw a monkey wrench into the proceedings. Berry is visibly shaken and gives the camera a startled, wide-eyed look.

Osmer claims that Berry was never the same after that. “Sure he went on and continued the song” said Osmer. “He was a true professional, but he started spiraling shortly after the incident. First the headaches started, then the nightmares, insomnia, vertigo and explosive diarrhea. Eventually Chuck received therapy and was diagnosed with PTSD from the Yoko incident.”

“Chuck lived for another 45 years but had a lot of troubles from the incident. Berry had issues with women and legal troubles. He had me installing cameras in toilets and urinating and defecating on people. He was not into that stuff before the Yoko debacle. She turned him dark man.”

When reached for comment Yoko told Madhouse News, “Are you kidding me? I was brilliant that day. If anything, it was John and Chuck Berry’s playing and singing that interfered with my genius. Those two have no talent, I wish they would have STFU and let me shine. They were both such spotlight hogs. Mike Douglas only had those two on the show to get to me.”
