I've never really wanted to know the truth about how dad was with me. Relationship with his fatherįollowing his father's murder on 8 December 1980, Lennon voiced anger and resentment toward him, saying, John Lennon bought him a Gibson Les Paul guitar and a drum machine for Christmas 1973, and encouraged his interest in music by showing him some chords. After his parents' divorce, Julian had almost no contact with his father until the early 1970s when, at the request of his father's then short-term girlfriend, May Pang (Yoko Ono and Lennon had temporarily separated), he began to visit his father regularly. Paul McCartney wrote Hey Jude to console him over the divorce originally called "Hey Jules", McCartney changed the name because he thought that "Jude" was an easier name to sing. John Lennon married Yoko Ono on 20 March 1969, and Julian has a younger half-brother, Sean Lennon, and a stepsister, Kyoko Chan Cox. When Julian was 5 years old in 1968, his parents divorced following his father's infidelity with Yoko Ono. In 1967, he attended the set of the Beatles' film Magical Mystery Tour. Another composition of his father inspired by him was the lullaby Good Night, the closing song of the White Album. Lennon inspired one of his father's most famous songs, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, whose lyrics describe a picture the boy had drawn, a watercolour painting of his friend, Lucy O'Donnell, from nursery school surrounded by stars. The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, was his godfather. The fact that John Lennon was married and had a child was initially concealed from the public, in keeping with the conventional wisdom of the era that female teenage fans would not be as enamoured of married male pop stars. Julian Lennon was born in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
