During a recently surfaced interview with Esquire, Julian Lennon reflected on whether there was bad blood between him and Sean Ono Lennon.
The conversation was just after the release of the ‘Get Back’ documentary, which Julian watched alongside his half-brother, Sean. Julian mentioned that Sean was hesitant to attend the premiere because he felt a lot of pressure. Julian also wasn’t keen on going, but he decided to join Sean because of his deep love for him. The singer then continued:
“And it’s funny because there’s always been, especially in the UK press, ‘Lennon Sons Feuding,’ this, that. We’ve never had a fight in our life. It’s such bull. I posted lots of happy pictures of us doing nothing but smiling, laughing, and acting like idiots.”
Julian Speaking On Relationships And Growing Older
Lennon further reflected on his relationship with his brother, explaining:
“This was important for me and for the peace and for family because there has been friction, no question, in the past between everybody. But we’re all getting a bit older, and as we get older, we lose people, and we realize now what’s most precious in life.”
Reconnecting With The Past
The musician added the following about the documentary and his feelings towards his late father:
“The love for Sean, and the love for Yoko, and Stella, and Paul, and Mary, and Dhani, and Zak—it’s a big old, weird family. But as they say, families are always a bit screwed up. Watching ‘Get Back,’ I fell in love with my father again because I saw him as he was, as I remember him as a kid before it all went a bit pear-shaped. I came away feeling so proud to be a Lennon.”
Julian and Sean’s Future Plans
In a September 2023 appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Julian also shared that he and his brother Sean plan to make music together soon. He noted:
“We’ve talked about it. We have a plan at some point when we both have the time to do it. There’s something we want to do together. We want to play around with an idea. I think it’s a nice idea. I have to wait and see. I’m not winding you up, but it’ll have its time and place.”
During the same interview, Julian expressed his pride and affection for Sean. He spoke highly of Sean’s talent and hard work in music, mentioning his involvement with various bands and his dedication to playing, recording, and producing music. Julian emphasized his longstanding support for Sean, saying he has always looked out for him and been there for him, especially after their father’s passing.
