Julian Lennon says he’s not part of The Beatles’ “inner circle” and he’s “just as curious about them as anybody else”

Julian Lennon has admitted that he is not part of The Beatles‘ “inner circle”.Speaking in a new interview, the elder son of John Lennon said he is often one of the last to hear about any news about his late father’s former band.When asked about the recent resurgence of interest in The Beatles following Peter Jackson‘s Get Back and Martin Scorsese‘s Beatles ’64 documentaries, he told The Guardian: “It’s news to me half the time.

I’m not part of the inner circle – I never have been. You have to realise that when Dad left, when I was between three and five (it was a bit of a process), it was just mum and me, and we had nothing to do with the Beatles or Dad.“I visited him on the odd occasion but we were very much on the outside.

I’m thankful that Sean [Lennon] and I get on like a house on fire – we’re best buddies and he tells me what he can, but things are pretty secret on the Beatles front.”He continued: “I’d rather be excited and impressed by what they did and continue to do.

As a fan, I’m just as curious as anybody else, although I do find myself going, how is it possible that there’s another Beatles film?”In the past Lennon has previously said that that he’s been “driven up the wall” by ‘Hey Jude’.
