On one note: The children of iconic musicians who also chose the stage
They say that an apple doesn't fall far from an apple tree, and this folk wisdom is often confirmed in real life. Children of famous musicians follow in their parents' footsteps and travel the world with concerts. They occupy the first places in the charts and release song albums like their famous fathers and mothers. The offspring of John Lennon, Bono and other legendary artists have inherited their talent and are gathering crowds of fans.
John Lennon could have turned 81 this year. The legendary musician's life ended abruptly, but he managed to pass on his talent to two sons who managed to build a musical career. Julian Lennon and Sean Ono Lennon successfully perform on the big stage, and they are not the only star children who have followed in their parents' footsteps.
Here are the offspring of famous musicians who continued the work of their fathers.
58-year-old Julian Lennon is John Lennon's son from his first wife Cynthia. It was he who inspired a member of The Beatles to create the hit "Hey Jude". Julian released his first album "Valotte" in 1984. His song "Too Late for Goodbyes" reached the sixth place in the top chart of the same year. Since then, he has released several more albums and has become famous for his photography and the founding of the White Feather Foundation.
45-year-old Sean Ono Lennon is Lennon's son by Yoko Ono. The guy also became a musician and released two solo albums: "Into the Sun" (1998) and "Friendly Fire" (2006), as well as a joint compilation "South of Reality" with the Claypool group Lennon Delirium in 2019.
The brothers communicate closely and are friends. Sean says that it was thanks to his older brother that he decided to become a musician.
