Julian Lennon Shares Mixed Feelings About 'Hey Jude'

Despite its painful reminders of his parents' divorce, Lennon acknowledges the song's enduring relevance and its influence on his own music career.

Julian Lennon, son of Beatles guitarist John Lennon, has expressed his mixed feelings about the song 'Hey Jude', written by Paul McCartney to comfort him and his mother during his parents' divorce in 1968.
Despite acknowledging the beautiful sentiment behind the song, Julian admits it reminds him of the pain of his parents' separation and his subsequent limited contact with his father.
Julian also clarified rumors of a feud with his half-brother Sean Lennon, calling them 'such bull' and stating they have never had a fight in their life.
Julian, who has followed his father's footsteps into the music industry, released his seventh album 'Jude' in 2022, named after the song 'Hey Jude'.
Despite his complicated feelings towards the song, Julian acknowledges that its lyrics about making life better and taking the weight off his shoulders are still pertinent today.
