Julian Lennon, son of the late John Lennon, has disclosed that he has been diagnosed with coronary heart disease and is pre-diabetic. The 63-year-old musician, best known for his 1984 hit 'Too Late For Goodbyes', shared the news on social media, urging followers to prioritise their health.
In a Facebook post, Lennon wrote: 'After being diagnosed with coronary heart disease and 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...'
He added that he had caught the conditions early enough to potentially reverse some damage and hoped to live a long, healthy life. The post garnered over 6,000 reactions and more than 100 comments, with well-wishers encouraging him to focus on his health.
This is not Lennon's first health scare. In 2020, he revealed he had a cancerous growth removed from his head after a biopsy showed it was malignant. He described feeling 'shaking inside' following the emergency operation but expressed faith in his recovery.
Julian is the only child of John Lennon and his first wife, Cynthia. He inspired the Beatles' song 'Hey Jude'. His father was murdered in 1980, and his mother died of cancer in 2015.
