John Lennon's Son Julian Said It Was Hard Entering the Music Industry With the Lennon Name

John Lennon‘s son, Julian, followed in his father’s footsteps, but it wasn’t easy. Julian had some pretty big shoes to fill, and the music industry and fans expected another John Lennon.

As far as singing went, Julian sounds eerily like his father. However, that’s as similar as father and son get. Julian wanted his own career, and it was hard when the music industry wouldn’t see him as anything more than John Lennon’s son.

Julian doesn’t know if he was born to make music like his famous father. He told Larry King that he fell in love with acting in school, not music. But he picked up a guitar, and “the rest is history,” he said.

His debut album, Valotte, came in 1984. Four other albums followed, but Julian dropped his music career after Photograph Smile in 1998.

At the time of his interview on Larry King Live, it had been 15 years since Julian had entered the recording studio. King asked him about the long hiatus. Julian said it was mostly because he’d never had a great relationship with the music industry.
