EMERGENCY SURGERY

John Lennon’s Son Julian Reveals Shock Cancer News

Although his surgery was successful, the results of his biopsies may not come until after the holidays.

John Lennon’s son revealed he underwent a seven-hour emergency surgery after discovering a cancerous mole on his arm. Julian, the eldest son of the late Beatles legend, detailed the medical emergency in a post on X, five years after his first public skin cancer scare. The 61-year-old explained that the abnormal growths were spotted by his dermatologist, whom he visited ahead of a trip to New York. She urged him to come back for surgery on his shoulder and forearm shortly after he appeared on Good Morning America. “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,” he wrote on X. “And went directly from LAX airport, to surgery, with a surgeon recommended by Dr. Tess, who 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...” Julian also encouraged his followers to get their skin checked regularly. Although his surgery was successful, he added that the results of his biopsies may not come until after the holidays.
