- Julian Lennon documented his encounter with Paul McCartney by posting a selfie on Twitter, and shared a snap of his dad’s ex-bandmate listening to his new album, Jude
- Lennon has also been selling The Beatles memorabilia as NFTs, recently performed Imagine to raise funds for Ukraine, and has even held a photo exhibition in Florida
Beatles fans went into raptures recently when Lennon and McCartney came together again … only it wasn’t John, but rather the legend’s son with first wife Cynthia Powell.
