- We’re joined by the Grammy nominated singer-songwriter and son of the late great John Lennon (and his first wife, Cynthia), to talk about the prospect of Eurovision being hosted in Liverpool, his (and the Beatles) home city, and his new album Jude - a nod to the infamous “Hey Jude” (written by Paul McCartney to console the young Jules amid his parents divorce). He’s just released a climate change song and earlier this year, he also recorded a cover of his father's “Imagine” to raise funds for Ukraine.

The way Julian's held on to his sanity and not become another rock music casuality is his greatest achievement.
He's done well that's for sure but I seriously don't think that he had that much of a choice in the matter. His mother was his rock helping him cope to become the man we see before us today. John no doubt needed her strength as well and without it we would not have many of the wonderful songs that we can hear today. I tend to believe that she was their rock and would no doubt be outstandingly proud of who Julian has become.
He seems like a quality guy to me, and I always loved his song "Too late for Goodbyes" which has the quality of the Beatles hits.
Credit his mother for that. ❤
singer, musician, artist, author, photographer, humanist - this is one amazing human being. my total respects, sir.
His mum did a beautiful job raising him...he's a caring, loving man. ❤❤❤
Absolutely, though it is also a credit to Julian himself and Paul McCartney also showed support. But no doubt Cynthia is a wonderful mother, and she deserved much better. She truly took a "sad song and made it better." and so did Julian.
Cynthia did an amazing job of raising a grounded, wonderful, talented person. Well sone Cynthia, R.I.P 🌹🌺❤❤
So inspiring that, even though his mom is gone, he always tries to make her proud. You can tell he still misses her and that all he does has nothing to do with his dad. He is a great guy.
You can tell, Cinthia was a great mother because in spite of his absent father , he always keeps his mother’s memory alive and sounds a very grounded and nice man.
Julian is a fantastic human being.
Such a gentleman and deeply talented.
i have alot of respect for julian, he no doubt had to deal with alot since his dad died, court cases suing his fathers estate, i am sure he loves his father, but...an example sean and John have the same birthday, julian posted on seans birthday last year and said happy birthday to my brother but he didnt say dad...we all pretty much knew why ... john left julian practically nothing in his will
What a beautiful man. I met him in Houston Texas at the bar at the 4 seasons. My roommate was in love with him and we hung out with his band.
I honestly feel bad for John Lennon. His mistake led him to miss out on his son's life. He missed out on this sweet child that grew up to be this incredible man. A good man. Julian, you made your mum proud alright. May you have all the happiness you so rightly deserve.
Not sure how you can feel bad for John. In this regard he was a scoundrel - he literally surprised Cynthia when she found him in bed with Yoko, and he apparently PURPOSEFULLY did that!
Then he went on to be such a "loving" father to Sean.
John might have been the core of the greatest rock band in history but he was a horrible human to Cynthia and Julian.
Smarter than his dad.
Level headed, kind, talented, honest and arty like his mum.
So happy to hear Julian is making music again. missed you Jules
I'll always have a soft spot for Julian and Cynthia (RIP) for the way everything transpired.
What a sweet man. This brought tears to my eyes.
beautiful Julian Lennon greetings from Ciudad Madero Tamaulipas Mexico 🇲🇽
Julian is one really great, level-headed human being.
You can hear it in his voice that he genuinely cares deeply for Cynthia's well-being.
The fact that he is John Lennon's son could have easily skewed his humble attitude.
Too bad he and his father didn't have more time together.
John would be so proud.
Julian and Sean are both really great people.
Respect to Cynthia for raising a well mannered, sweet & handsome guy like Julian. He may sound and look like his old man, but he is a way better person than John Lennon would ever be!
Way better person
He looks a lot like his mom
@@CrankyGrandma looks like his dad and his mom some! You need new glasses granny!!🤦♀️
👍🏻
Love Julian he is so incredibly talented in everything he does. Peace and love❤
I doubt Hey Jude was really conforting to a little boy whose dad was leaving him. But now is an inspiration for his music, so beautiful and so mature.
Knowing that I have someone like you in my corner, cheering me on, fills me with a sense of profound gratitude. Your dedication and passion for my work inspire me to push my boundaries and explore new horizons. Your kind words and uplifting messages have the power to brighten even my darkest days.
Yes, but Paul was inspired to write the song because he had empathy for Julian.
You know he had to picked on by the other kids not only due to his father's poor choices but that song as well. I can only imagine how cruel they were to him.
Credit to Julian for the quality man he is and to his mother Cynthia for raising him so well, and Paul McCartney for showing his support and writing "Hey Jude" for Jules or Julian. No doubt Cynthia is a wonderful mother, and she deserved much better. She like Julian truly took a "sad song and made it better."
He wants to make his *mother* proud. Good for him. She was there for him his whole life up until she passed. He's a credit to her.
I just heard this song after so many years and thought how appropriate for Julian to sing this song again with what's happening in the world. I also felt sad that John Lennon was such a bad father to such a sweet little boy who grew up, despite of everything, to become such a fine person. Julian, no doubt you made your Mommy proud. A lot of us could not do half of what you have achieved!
Julian seems like a quality guy to me, and I always loved his song "Too late for Goodbyes" which has the quality of the Beatles hits. So cool to know that Paul wrote the wrote about Julian which shows what a quality guy Paul McCartney really is.
What a pure, lovely man. As real as can be. Deep respect.
I adore it when Paul gets mentioned every time when there's an interview with Julian. Strangely (or not so) Julian seems to be more Paul's son to me
Paul likes children and is good with them. He came from a big family so he has known from a young age how to interact with them. There are several pictures of Paul with Julian. I've seen more pictures with Paul than John. Julian has referred to Paul as an uncle to him in the past.
Singer , Author, Musician, and A Man of People & Humanity.
Thank you. Good Morning Britain Show for your sharing this with us all.
Julian genuinely seems warm and instantly likeable. He, no doubt, does make his Mum proud!
I liked your album very much Julian, The song "Lucky ones" is my favourite.✌❤
Julian made his own way in life and is his own man. God bless him.
A true gentleman
Julian is such a lovely person.❤❤❤❤.
Julian is truly a remarkable man. He is what many of us spend a lifetime to become but never be.
Julian Lennon is so gracious, like his mother.
What a wonderful nan❤❤❤
He is an awesome human being.
I love that he wants to make his mother proud. I’m sure she is. She did an amazing job raising him. She poured herself into him. He’s a lot like her and that’s a beautiful thing. Good job being a decent human being Julian. Good job raising him to be the decent human being that he is Cynthia RIP.
You are unique Julian, so authentic❤
You are such a gifted man.God bless you,as you are a a very special person❤❤❤❤❤
I remember hearing him on radio performing Saltwalter at the first ever Party In The Park back in 1998
I really like the tune "Lucky ones" good tune
This man talks like his father. But he is a different man, we all know that. Be proud of your father to what he had achieved. Stay strong🔥💪.
His dad was a lousy dad and husband.
He is a brilliant human being. Beauty of children or offspring from great talents will become great talents is something we should embrace and let them feel extra special.
O hace the feeling that Paul was more concerned about Julian than his own father. Such a sweet boy.
I always had a great sympathy for Julian, as I too had a father who left me and my mom for another woman. Great to see how well Julian turned out despite of that, and that Paul McCartney was sensitive enough to understand how difficult this is.
I was a teenage Beatles fan, but I have to say that Cynthia did a splendid job in raising a really nice fellow in Julian...and it might have been for the best though no one should have to go through the messy breakup John provided for his family. God's mercy and love to all.
Amazing man, and like his mention of his Mum and he does what he does to make her proud. Good heart🙏😘
He's just lovely. A genuine person 🥰
Julian just makes me happy
His mother did a wonderful job raising him. After all that she was going through, trying to raise an emotionally stable child with all of The Beatles chaos, the breakup of her marriage, and a husband/father walking away from them. Julian has always recognized how strong his mother was to help them survive all of the turmoil. I have the highest respect for Julian stepping up for himself, pursuing what he wants in life, and never bashing his father or Yoko. He had every opportunity to do so but chose to rise above. ❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful soul and wonderful human being. Cynthia is certainly looking at him proudly from heaven, where I pray that she and John are reunited
Kudos to Julian....and looking up his White Feather Foundation.
Love Julian, he is one of the best of us. ❤
Julian Lennon i love you we share the same birthday April 8th
Julian really is a top bloke.
its like in every interview Julian has done for the past 30 years hes saying "im finally in a good place" or "i finally feel like my own person now" etc.
My husband loved the Beatles but his favorite was John Lennon …. He about never got over his death …. He loves his song, Imagine and wants it played at his funeral services which it will be !
I see a real kind human being that had every reason in the world to be a pumpas ass but chose not to be. You will always be loved worldwide Julian.
JUST GREAT HIS LAST ANSWER 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Your Mama loves you Julian, she'll always be proud of her baby !
Glad he has so many talents.
What an amazing man. He’s very outwardly kind unlike his very selfish father. I was a HUGE Beatles fan, but John was my least favorite from the very beginning.
I know that you shouldn’t compare him with John Lennon, but you really can’t help it. I just feel if John Lennon would’ve raised him with Cynthia he wouldn’t have turned out to be such an amazing person.
He’s the better version of his father
Love Julian as a name
Julian Lennon is a credit to his mother, he has become his own man 🦋
I'm actually glad to finally see him look somewhat happy! :D
Julian is outstanding❤
love him and his work, he does so many things people dont know about. i hate when any artist says i found myself. i feel whole. i feel hungry
Maybe I'm naive and it would be impossible to make happen but I've always wondered why the sons of Paul,John George and Ringo never got together to explore the possibility of them creating some great music together.
A real and good man!
I like the songs: Round and Round, The Lucky Ones❤ off this album
Looks amazing for 60
Talented, humble and generous. His half brother is just plain weird... Paul and julien need to write a couple of songs. He always seems to be ignored when his fathers legacy is talked about
it would be great!
I'm happy for you!
What a thoroughly decent, talented man. I think his Mum raised him well
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I think he's a much nicer man than his father
He is a wonderful amazing man
Love julian ..a real geeza in his own write
He's got the voice / if he can just get by the stigma on the Lennon name!!! John had talent but no integrity & no moral compass ! Great credit to Julian's Mum ❤
best wishes for julian hope he marries has a child and lives happy life
The video looks cool Julian it sounds very much like Peter Gabrielle
Was that artsy 'video' created by Julian? Amazing
You would think having such an extraordinary song written for you played a part as well then having male role models such as Paul writing it for him must have surely helped.
Boys have to be shown how to grow into men and what an extraordinary mother he had in his life.
I agree, I thought once that Julian always reminded me of Paul, they have similar personalities, He's more Paul's son to me, strange as it may seem
Should have been so proud of his dad
The living image of his father!
What a nice guy!
Sigo a Julian Lenonn
x q su papa Jhonn Lenonn
Le dejo un legado su gran voz.
Su papa era el numero uno
de los beatles.
Una voz tantan bien sintonizada q alegra el corazon.
Unico jhonn Lenonn
Julian te seguimos desde mexico.
Pfr.canta ya.
He’s beautiful
Congratulations
Is very talent person
His dad was a scrapper and his mother was a saint.
I remember reading that his given name is John Charles Julian. I think he favors Alfred more than John.
He officially changed it to Julian Charles John Lennon, so that he isn’t the other John, but himself; Julian.
buying it
I'm 54 and he's always been Julian to me, he could call himself Brenda and he'd still be linked to his dad, he'd have been a nobody but for his dad
Julian became stronger through God's design and I am so happy for him and I am glad he didn't turn out like his 'Deadbeat Dad' :)
He should be honoured ,very ungrateful being honestly ,changes his name money oriented seriously x
Can settle get ones
can't help myself that when I see Julian, I can see in him the face of his dad if he remained a usual Scouser lad who finished art school and grew old in Britain...but as a more grounded man.
Cynthia was born in bispham on my road
Chapman robbed Julian and John of their chance to come together and have a true father son relationship. I truly believe they would’ve reunited.
