Musician urged his followers to get themselves checked by a doctor if they were concerned. Musician Julian Lennon, the son of late Beatles star John Lennon and his first wife, Cynthia Powell, has revealed that he has been treated for skin cancer a second time.
On Wednesday evening (18 December), the 61-year-old singer shared a message with his followers informing them that he had undergone surgery on two areas on his skin, shoulder and forearm, one of which was melanoma. Lennon explained that he had received an urgent call from his doctor, who previously treated him for the condition, shortly before flying to Los Angeles for an appearance on Good Morning America and other appearances in support of a new book.
“My lovely dermatologist [was] the one who caught and operated on my mole skin cancer a few years ago, and literally saved my life,” the musician and photographer wrote. “Anyway, after having just finished GMA, I received a message from Dr Tess, with some urgency to return to Los Angeles, as I had two locations on my skin, shoulder and forearm, one of which was melanoma, that should be operated on asap!!.
“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.”. Lennon, who also shared images of the skin cancer before and after surgery, said the operation was a success but added he has yet to receive the results of the biopsy and could be waiting until after Christmas.
