The 49-year-old singer was the result of the late Beatles legend’s first marriage to Cynthia Powell, and admits he always delayed having children because he didn’t want to do the same things his parents did when they were young.
He said: “I didn’t want to follow certain things that dad had done because dad’s mother died when he was 17 and so on. So I didn’t want to have children so early in life and I wanted to learn a little bit about life.” more… I didn’t want to make the same mistakes, basically.

“You can only hope you learned a little more and were a little wiser on that front. It was a different time for everyone.”
Julian, who was abandoned by his father at the age of five after his parents divorced, has been collecting memorabilia related to his father in recent years, hoping to one day be able to show them to his children, if he ever has them.
During an appearance on ‘This Morning’, she said: “If I’m going to have a family, I want to have things that belong to my family, that are part of history. At first, I started collecting the most personal things that were related to me – the postcards that were sent to me. At the time, I didn’t think that the things that were sent to me were going to be ‘memories’ in the future.”
