Julian Lennon Comes Of Age
It is a brisk November day and the Hard Rock Cafe is bursting with wall-to-wall anticipation. He comes in unnoticed at first, surrounded by bodyguards. It isn’t until he reaches the balcony and turns to say hello that everyone realizes he has arrived.

THE LENNON LEGACY
It is a brisk November day and the Hard Rock Cafe is bursting with wall-to-wall anticipation. He comes in unnoticed at first, surrounded by bodyguards. It isn’t until he reaches the balcony and turns to say hello that everyone realizes he has arrived. To many, it is as if John Lennon has been reincarnated before their eyes. He looks like John, speaks like John and has many of John’s mannerisms. But he isn’t his father—he is John’s first-born son, John Charles Julian Lennon.
John Lennon was a musician, an artist, perhaps even a philosopher...but he was also a father. Now, his oldest son—the one old enough to remember something of his father’s astonishing success—is a musician himself, and a fairly successful one at that. His debut album, Valotte, proves that—in addition to inheriting the vocation of his father—he has the potential to be a creative force able to stand on his own merits.
