“The weird thing with the audience is they think it’s cute sometimes, quoting ‘Hey Jude’ to me, but I don’t think they realise there’s a lot of pain behind what happened,” he said.
“Every time you quote that, it reminds me of my mother being separated from my father, the love that was lost, the fact that I rarely saw my father again ever.
John Lennon’s son Julian Lennon has explained why he legally changed his name.
In 2020, the son of the late Beatles star – who is also a musician – changed his name from John Charles Julian Lennon to Julian Charles John Lennon.
“It was in 2020, just before we all got locked in a cage that I finally actually decided to legally change my name by default,” he said.
“Because originally my name was John Charles Julian Lennon, and the crap that I had to deal with when travelling and security companies and this and that and the other.” “Whenever you had to present yourself, especially on like boarding passes, just as an example, you know they only use your first name, and so it would always be John Lennon.”
“So it became really uncomfortable over the years because I’ve always been known as Julian and so it [being called John] never felt like it was me,” he said. “So finally I just decided in 2020, ‘Yeah, I wanna be me now. This is it, it’s time for a change.’”
Julian Lennon has revealed he had a love-hate relationship with Beatles song Hey Jude as it was a “dark reminder” about his parents’ divorce. (Independent.ie)
The song was written by Paul McCartney to comfort then five-year-old Julian when his father John and mother Cynthia were separating.
Speaking on the radio show Debatable on SiriusXM Volume, Lennon said: “I wasn’t really aware of what was going on except when I started seeing Yoko (Ono) around, obviously that made a bit of an impact and apparently I struggled with the separation a great deal at five.
“I am thankful to Paul for writing it and putting some hope behind what was to come, but the downside of it was it was a dark reminder of what actually went down at that time, the separation.
