Lennon Son facts

While investigating facts about Lennon Son, I found out little known, but curios details like:

Julian Lennon, John's firstborn son, would like to punch anyone gushing to him about his father to this day, because he has "no respect for him as a father and a person" due to his near-complete abandonment.

After being largely cut out of his father's will John Lennon's son from his first marriage, Julian Lennon, was forced to bid on sentimental postcards addressed to him by his late father. Yoko Ono auctioned them off for tens of thousands of dollars instead of giving them to Julian.
