JOHN Lennon’s son Julian has revealed his devastating health diagnosis while sending a warning to his fans.
The son of the iconic singer from The Beatles has opened up about being diagnosed with coronary heart disease and pre-diabetes.
The 63-year-old musician, who followed in his father’s footsteps and had the hit Too Late For Goodbyes, opened up in a recent social media post.
Taking to social media, Julian said in a post: “After being diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease & a Pre-Diabetic, I urge you all to get checked out sooner rather than later.
“You never know what hidden health issues you may have, even after exercising and eating as much ‘good/healthy’ food as possible.
“Nip it in the bud! As they say…

“Even with these ailments, I’ve managed to catch them early enough, to be able to reverse some of the damage and will hopefully be able to live a healthy long life!
“Please get checked out, before you’re checked out…
“And last but not least, thanks to all the Doctors who have helped and guided me on this new journey so far… Truly.”
Fans rushed to support Julian amid his health woes.
“Be well Julian! I’m on the same journey,” said one fan.
“Dear Julian, You are very thoughtful to share this, especially for our benefit. Good luck with your new healthier journey. Please keep us updated,” added a second.
“Good advice. Trying to be better at it now. Take good care,” penned a third.
This isn’t Julian’s first health concern.
In 2020, the musician revealed he had to undergo an emergency operation to remove a cancerous growth from his head.
The singer had visited his dermatologist, who noticed a lump on his head which he had had all his life “looked and felt a little different”.
After having a biopsy, the results showed that the mole was cancerous and Julian got it removed immediately.
Writing on social media at the time, he said: “She urged me to have a Biopsy 2 days ago, which I obliged…
“Only to learn, 24 hrs later, that it was malignant/cancerous, and that her recommendation was to get it removed immediately, which is what happened today…
“Hopefully we managed to remove all that was cancerous, but the mole is being sent off again, for a further/deeper analysis, and I’ll have those results next week.”
Julian is the son of John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia, who sadly died in April 2015.
