While The Beatles broke up in 1970, they're still very much part of popular culture, with the past few years seeing the release of Peter Jackson's Got Back docuseries, the recent documentary Beatles '64, their final new song, "Now and Then," and more. And while Julian Lennon may be Beatle John Lennon's son, he says he's usually out of the loop when it comes to new projects associated with the band.
"It's news to me half the time. I'm not part of the inner circle – I never have been," he tells The Guardian in a new interview. "You have to realize that when Dad left, when I was between three and five (it was a bit of a process), it was just mum and me, and we had nothing to do with the Beatles or Dad. I visited him on the odd occasion but we were very much on the outside."
