The son of Beatles star John Lennon has reminded people to get checked after undergoing an operation to remove a melanoma. Liverpool-born musician Julian Lennon, 61, the son of John and his first wife Cynthia, said he was told to have an operation to remove the skin cancer after visiting his dermatologist.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Lennon said he had gone to see his dermatologist, who had operated on his skin cancer a few years ago, before flying to New York. “I received a message from Dr Tess (his dermatologist), with some urgency to return to Los Angeles, as I had two locations on my skin, shoulder & forearm, one of which was melanoma, that should be operated on ASAP!”, he said.
“So instead of going home to put my Christmas tree up and happily finish the year off, relaxing at home, I flew directly back to Los Angeles, after all my work in New York was done, and went directly from LAX airport, to surgery, with a surgeon recommended by Dr Tess.
“@timneavin – who spent several hours cleaning up and operating on me, with large margins, in the hope that we have, at the end of the day – clear margins, which would mean being free from cancer…. “The operation was a success, but we have yet to have the results of the biopsy, which we may not receive before Christmas….
“First of all, I’m very thankful to Dr Tess and Dr Tim, for being able to co-ordinate this surgery at such short notice, but for once again, hopefully saving my life…. “One can never be too confident in circumstances like this, but we all believe that Dr Tim has saved the day… So finger’s crossed for now.”.
