Julian Lennon revealed on social media that he underwent an emergency operation last week to remove a cancerous growth.

“A few days ago, I went to visit my dermatologist, here in L.A., when she noticed a little bump on my head, that was actually a mole, that had been there, along with a birthmark, for the last 57 years,” Lennon wrote on Facebook.

“But this time, it looked & felt a little different. She urged me to have a biopsy 2 days ago, which I obliged… Only to learn, 24 hrs later, that it was malignant/cancerous, and that her recommendation was to get it removed immediately, which is what happened today,” he added.

“Hopefully We managed to remove all that was cancerous, but the mole is being sent off again, for a further/deeper analysis, and I’ll have those results next week,” said the son of Beatles legend, John Lennon.

Lennon advised his fans to take time out to go and get checked out by the doctor, and do every health check possible ,”if you love this life, and all that it encompasses.”
