John Lennon's Sons Julian and Sean Hang Out Together at The Dakota
John Lennon's sons Sean Ono Lennon and Julian Lennon recently spent some time together in a sentimental place.
On Saturday, Dec. 14, Julian, 61 — whom the late Beatles star welcomed with ex-wife Cynthia Lennon — shared three new photos on Instagram of himself and Sean, 49, hanging out at The Dakota, the New York City apartment building that was once home to their famous father.
He captioned the post: “A Goodnight kiss for my brother, after spending the evening with him, having a lil dinner & chatting the night away, at The Dakota. Something we rarely get to do…Thankful."
In one photo, Julian can be seen kissing his brother on the cheek, while another shows Sean — whose mother is John's widow Yoko Ono — preparing to eat a bowl of noodles as he sits in a kitchen surrounded by take-out food boxes. The final photo depicts a set of wooden doors, presumably at The Dakota.
John and Ono, 91, moved into The Dakota in 1973. According to The New York Times, the couple at one point owned five units in the Upper West Side apartment complex, which was not only their primary residence but also used as their guest home, a storage space and a studio for Ono. The living space and studio alone had a combined square footage of nearly 6,000 square feet, per the outlet.
Tragically, John was shot and killed in front of the residence in December 1980. He was 40 years old.
Prior to his death, John posed with his two sons for a memorable photo taken at The Dakota during the holiday season in December 1977.
