In a revealing interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, Sean Ono Lennon opened up about his mother Yoko Ono's enduring devotion to John's final concert, even decades after the Beatles legend's tragic death in 1980.
Sean, 49, who recently received a Grammy nomination for his work on the reissue of John's 1973 album "Mind Games," shared intimate details about his parents' relationship while discussing the project.
"I grew up with my mum speaking about my dad every day," Sean revealed. "She famously cut her hair when my dad died. I think she never has moved on from that relationship."
While working on the "Mind Games" reissue, Sean discovered studio tapes that captured Yoko's presence in the control room, contradicting popular assumptions about their separation during that period. "Even when they were apart, they were always talking," he explained. "All his stuff was still in the apartment with my mum. It's not like they had a real separation."
The album itself stands as a testament to John's deep feelings for Yoko, according to Sean. He pointed to the album cover, which features a collage of Yoko "literally the size of a mountain" with John as "this little tiny thing sort of fading into the background."
For Sean, working on his father's music has become a deeply personal experience. "It's the closest, in a way, I have to spending time with him," he shared, offering a glimpse into how both he and his mother maintain their connection to John's legacy.
The interview provides a touching insight into one of music's most discussed relationships, revealing how Yoko Ono's love for John Lennon has remained unchanged since his untimely death at age 40.
