John Lennon's son Julian has urged fans to undergo heart checks after he received a devastating health diagnosis. The 63-year-old musician, who inspired three Beatles songs, revealed he has been "diagnosed with coronary heart disease and [being] pre-diabetic." Taking to social media, the Too Late For Goodbyes star advised his fans online: "I urge you all to get checked out sooner rather than later.
"You never know what hidden health issues you may have. 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 health long life." But this isn't the star's first health scare.
In 2020, Julian revealed he was left "shaking inside" following an emergency operation to remove a cancerous growth from his head. The singer had visited his dematologist who noticed a lump on his head, something he had had all his life but "looked and felt a little different".
It was there that she urged him to have a biopsy, where the results showed that the mole was cancerous. Julian immediately went under the knife at a hospital in the heart of Los Angeles to get it removed. After he came round from the operation, he took to Facebook to reassure his fans that he was on the mend.
Recalling the terrifying ordeal, he penned: "She urged me to have a biopsy two days ago, which I obliged. Only to learn 24 hours 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 moleis being sent off again, for a further/deeper analysis, and I'll have those results next week."
