Lol, its the lyrics for let it be and what I meant was to let "the Beatles" be, as in give them a rest and explore other avenues.

lol, anyway, is it Rishikesh, India?

Can you answer this last question mine for today a little fast? I am tired. Gotta sleep.

[sir.humus]

There is this place, called Yellow Submarine in Jerusalem, Israel.

There is this place, called Yellow Submarine in Jerusalem, Israel.
yellowsubmarine.org.il/?lang=en

The address as per google is
13 Rehov Ha-Rechevim, Jerusalem, Israel

(Since the place is cannot be an entire city)

[NeuroticFish]

So, let's start with the questions: is it a place somebody is living or it's buried?

[ndnh]

And another: Is it in Asia or Africa?

very precise, thanks, it's not this one either

[steveturk]

So, let's start with the questions: is it a place somebody is living or it's buried?

the person to which the place relates has passed away.

Wow. After re-reading my question I thought that you will just say "yes", because there are people living or dead almost everywhere on Earth.
But you, instead, gave a very interesting answer. I'll try to make good use of it. Thanks.

However, I had already ruled out such a possibility.

I have also ruled out the Americas and most of Europe.

Imho, while we don't have a certain answer, nothing is completely ruled out.


An attempt for answer:
Kenwood, St. George's Hill estate, Weybridge, Surrey, England

Reason:
The clue picture is clearly a cover for "Yellow Submarine".
Another sort of clue was "Let it Be"
And another clue: it's related to a person that is dead now.

So, the Beatles. Maybe John Lennon? Almost everything is in NY and Liverpool
But this house seems to have been a big part of his life (and death).

[erikalui]

Ústí nad Labem, Czechoslovakia.

The place where Heinz Edelmann was born. He was an artist of Yellow Submarine.

[NeuroticFish]

Maybe I'm wrong but I think 2nd answer is related to that Yellow Submarine cover rather than The Beatles in general, I mean why pick exactly that visual to represent The Beatles.

You may be right.
Or may be related to a period of time in the life of the Beatles.

However, their best-known song is a version of "Yellow Submarine" entitled "Submarino Amarillo" that sold more than 130,000 copies just in Spain. In 1966, they took the trophy for best band at a music festival.

Again the lead goes to Spain, possibly Barcelona, maybe.

[The Young Turk]

2nd clue is "cover of yellow submarine" album.
Maybe another band/musician covered this album so we should look for those people who made a  cover of it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Submarine_%28song%29#Cover_versions
First cover: "simon and spede" (simon is stil alive)
so Spede Pasanen died  7 September 2001 (aged 71)
Kirkkonummi, Finland
