Poor Julian Lennon. In a recent interview, the son of complete unknowns John Lennon and Cynthia Powell revealed his heartbreak over the reception to Jude, his 2022 album. “The idea was to hit a couple of the American late-night TV shows and the likes of Graham Norton and Jools Holland, but sadly nobody would have me on, so that was a bit of a letdown,” he told The Observer.
Lennon had, he said, been “amazed” at how great he and his band sounded during rehearsals in Los Angeles. Clearly he thought others would be, too.
