Julian Lennon Undergoes Emergency Surgery for Skin Cancer

The 61-year-old musician and son of John Lennon urges regular health checkups after a melanoma diagnosis led to life-saving surgery.

Julian Lennon revealed he was diagnosed with melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, during a routine dermatology visit.
The musician had to interrupt a media tour in New York to return to Los Angeles for urgent surgery on his shoulder and forearm.
The operation was successful, but Lennon is awaiting biopsy results to confirm if the cancer was fully removed, which may not arrive before Christmas.
Lennon credited his medical team for potentially saving his life and emphasized the importance of early detection and regular checkups.
This marks Lennon's second skin cancer scare; he previously underwent surgery in 2020 for a cancerous mole on his head.
