Sean Lennon

Trivia

Sean Lennon

Edit
  • Born on the same day of the year as his father.
  • Father John Lennon kept a jukebox full of classic 45-rpm singles for Sean in his playroom, wanting him to always have a musical environment. He kept no memorabilia or records from The Beatles around the house, though, and Sean only learned of John's former life when he saw Yellow Submarine (1968) at his babysitter's. John later gave Sean one Beatles single (title unknown), to satisfy his curiosity.
  • His godfather is Elton John
  • His father, John Lennon, wrote the song "Beautiful Boy" for him.
  • At 16 years old, Sean and Lenny Kravitz rewrote John's song, "Give Peace A Chance", to reflect on society in the Cold War era. He and his mother invited their friends to participate in a video for the song. The star studded video included Randy Newman, Lenny Kravitz, Cyndi Lauper, Duff McKagan, Peter Gabriel, 'Michael "Flea" Balzary' and his daughter Clara Balzary, Sebastian Bach, M.C. Hammer, LL Cool J, Iggy Pop, Tom Petty, ETAL.
  • Has always had a good relationship with his half-brother, Julian Lennon.
  • John Lennon put his musical career on hold to focus full-time on raising young Sean (between 1975-1980), handing over business responsibilities to his wife, Yoko Ono.
  • Was named president of Lenono Music, which publishes most of his parents' compositions, including John Lennon's post-1973 songs (John's earlier work is almost completely owned and/or controlled by Sony Music). Was also given a complete set of his parents' recordings by Yoko Ono.
  • Frequently spent time with his mother's side of the family (the Onos and the Yasudas) when they visited Japan or relatives visited them in New York. He had little contact with his father's side, though, until Yoko took him to the British Isles in the 1980s, to meet the surviving Lennons and Stanleys (John's mother's family), and to see Liverpool, where John grew up.
  • Childhood friend of Mark Ronson.
  • Made a cameo appearance in the second-season opener of Buffy contre les vampires (1997) (episode #2.1). In the scene where Buffy is dancing provocatively with Xander on the dance floor, Sean can be found playing on bass with Yuka Honda of the band Cibo Matto at the Bronze.
  • Younger half-brother of Julian Lennon, and Kyoko Ono Cox.
  • (2000-February 2004) Dated Bijou Phillips.
  • Son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono
  • Member, with Les Claypool, of Claypool Lennon Delirium.
  • Performed a song with the Brazilian rock band Soulfly entitled "Son Song" alongside singer Max Cavalera, who lost his stepson Dana in an unsolved murder case.
  • Dated Elizabeth Jagger (Mick Jagger's daughter) for a short time in 2004
  • Recreated his parents' iconic Rolling Stone photo, taken the day of John's death, with his partner and band mate Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Sean posed as his mother while Kemp posed as John.
  • Some songs on his CD "Friendly Fire" are about his break-up with Bijou Phillips.
  • Living (and playing bass) with Yuka Honda of the band Cibo Matto (1999)
  • His girlfriend Irina Lazareanu is a model, a close friend of Kate Moss, former drummer of Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles and Karl Lagerfeld's muse in 2007.
  • Grandson of Alfred Lennon.
