In pictures: Happy 40th birthday Sean Lennon
As we mark what would have been John Lennon’s 75th birthday, there’s another big day in the family too - son Sean turns 40 on October 9.
Sean was born in New York on his father’s 35th birthday.
After Sean’s birth, John took time off to care for his young son, spending time with himand inspiring his love of music. His debut into the music world came at age five, when he recited a story on his mother’s 1981 album, Season of Glass.
From childhood into his teen years, Sean continued to collaborate with his mother, contributing vocals and receiving production credit on her solo albums It’s Alright, Starpeace and Onobox.
At 16 he co-wrote the song All I Ever Wanted with Lenny Kravitz for his 1991 album Mama Said. By 1995 he had formed the band IMA (with Sam Koppelman and Timo Ellis) to play alongside his mother on her album Rising.
His current band is The Ghost Of A Sabre Tooth Tiger, with whom he’s played recent gigs at The Kazimier and Liverpool Sound City.
