John Lennon’s Son Julian, 61, Reveals Cancer Diagnosis, Emergency Surgery
On Wednesday, December 18, Julian Lennon disclosed his cancer diagnosis. Julian had previously been diagnosed with skin cancer back in 2020 and credited his dermatologist Dr. Tess with “saving my life.” Now, he has undergone emergency surgery and awaits biopsy results that may not come until after the holidays.
61-year-old Julian is the son of the late Beatles legend John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia; John and Cynthia divorced in ’68 after Julian’s father had an affair with Yoko Ono. Julian has been upfront about his health journey on social media and is using his latest battle to stress to his followers the importance of getting thorough checkups.
Julian Lennon outlines his latest cancer diagnosis
On Wednesday, Julian took to social media to share news of his latest cancer diagnosis along with an outline of the next steps in his recovery journey. He shared recovery photos and updates thus far. “Well, here’s how this goes,” he began. “Before I flew to New York from Los Angeles, for Good Morning America Sirius XM, iHeart Radio and My Fotografiska Q&A Book Signing Event, I went to see, as I usually do when in L.A., My lovely dermatologist.”
“Anyway,” his post continues, “after having just finished GMA, I received a message from Dr. Tess, with some urgency to return to Los Angeles as I had 2 locations on my skin, shoulder and forearm, one of which was melanoma, that should be operated on ASAP!”

Operate they did, Julian confirmed. “So instead of going home to put my Christmas tree up and happily finish the year off, relaxing at home, I flew directly back to Los Angeles, after all my work in New York was done, and went directly from LAX airport to surgery, with a surgeon recommended by Dr. Tess,” he outlined.
That surgeon “spent several hours cleaning up and operating on me with large margins in the hope that we have, at the end of the day, clear margins, which would mean being free from cancer.”
Although “the operation was a success,” they “have yet to have the results of the biopsy, which we may not receive before Christmas.” Even so, Julian remains hopeful that his cancer diagnosis has been sufficiently addressed, and he is already crediting surgeon Tim Neavin for “hopefully saving my life,” just as he thanked Dr. Tess years before.
