Finally tonight, more than 40 years ago, John Lennon and the Beatles saying about a girl named Lucy. Now as Anthony mason reports, Lennon’s son is back with a new song about the same girl. “When she laughs…” It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Julian Lennon. After a string of chart hits in the 1980s, John Lennon’s son walked away from the music business in the late 90s. “Where have you been all these years?” But he is back. And there’s a familiar name in his new song. “We still love you, Lucy.” Yes, it’s that Lucy. Lucy Vodden who inspired the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
Lucy, as you said, was your, was your schoolmate? Yeah. Yeah. As a boy, Julian drew this picture of Lucy in school. “I didn’t often bring drawings home.” But he showed this one to his dad. “I said, what is it? He said, it’s Lucy in the sky with diamonds. I thought that’s beautiful.” “Lucy in the sky with diamonds” After Lucy died of lupus낭창 피부결핵 in September at age 46, Julian recorded his new song with James Scott Cook to raise money to fight the disease. “Julian’s my hero. He knows that. He’s been amazing.”
But it also helped Julian, now 46, heal an old wound with his father. “I had felt so upset by the way that he treated not just me, but mostly mom.” After John Lennon left Julian’s mother Cynthia for Yoko Ono in 1968, he had little contact with his son. Did you find it difficult to forgive? “Initially, yes. But, but, again, I had to view….. had to view things from his perspective. And what did you see? This 20-year-old kid hit in the face by the biggest amount of fame anybody could be, really.”
“We still love Lucy…” He finally found forgiveness writing "Lucy." “It’s related so heavily to dad, so heavily with the Beatles.” In closing a circle with his old friend, Julian Lennon also closed one with his father. It’s been…….it’s sort of a sigh of relief. Anthony Mason, CBS News, New York.
