A Decade in the Lives, 2016–2025

Ten Years of Sgt Pepper Celebrity Memorial Tributes

In December 2025, Chris Barker unveiled the tenth and final instalment of his acclaimed annual Sgt. Pepper–style Celebrity Montage series. These remarkable works — a contemporary reimagining of The Beatles’ iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover — honour the celebrated figures we have lost over the past decade from the worlds of music, film, television, and sport. Over the years, Barker’s montages have paid heartfelt tribute to legends such as David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Prince, Tina Turner, Dame Maggie Smith, and Muhammad Ali. To mark this milestone, Barker is publishing a beautifully produced, commemorative, case-bound book, presenting a special London exhibition, and auctioning an exclusive collection of limited-edition prints. At over 100-pages, this coffee table volume celebrates a decade-long artistic journey, bringing together all ten images from the project for the very first time. Each image is accompanied by detailed keys identifying every individual depicted, as well as insightful commentary on the people and events that inspired them. The book features an exclusive foreword by Emmy Award–winning writer David Quantick, along with the complete behind-the-scenes story of how this extraordinary ten-year project came to life.
