Sean Lennon, the younger son of John Lennon, has said that the financial rights to his father's estate are divided equally between him and his older brother Julian, refuting years of rumors about family feuds and money disputes, according to infohub.kz.
According to Hello Magazine, for many years the press and fans of The Beatles believed that the band's founder had completely cut his older son Julian out of his will, leaving the entire fortune to Yoko Ono and their son Sean. But Sean Lennon has dismissed these claims of a conflict over money.
He said there is neither enmity nor financial disagreement between the brothers. All income from the music and from the use of John Lennon's name is distributed in equal shares. The musician stressed that rumors of Julian being discriminated against are untrue, and that the brothers maintain a close and warm relationship.
The story of John Lennon's inheritance has long been one of the most discussed in rock music. After the artist's death in 1980, his older son indeed was left without a direct share in the estate, which led to court proceedings in the 1990s. Sean's statement confirms that the family disputes were settled long ago, and the brothers now jointly manage the legacy of the great musician.
