Julian Lennon Today
Julian’s debut song, “Valotte,” was a smash hit in 1984, earning him two top ten singles and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. His subsequent albums, though, were not as well received. Julian took a break from the recording industry in 1991. He released a variation of “When I’m Sixty-Four” almost a decade later, in 2002. In 2009, he founded the White Feather Foundation, an environmental or charitable organization named after what his father once told him. Julian then opened a show of 35 photos, including his selection of Beatles memorabilia, to commemorate his father’s birth on the 70th anniversary of his birth in 2010. Julian Lennon’s photography is titled “Timeless: The Photography of Julian Lennon.”

Zak Starkey
Parents: Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox
Born: September 13, 1965
After marrying earlier that year, Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey welcomed their first child, Zak. Despite his father’s best efforts to prevent his son from entering the increasingly stressful music business, Zak couldn’t help but be fascinated by his father’s drums. After all, when he was eight years old, his godfather Keith Moon (of The Who) gave him a drum kit. It’s no joke that the kid was into drums and rock ‘n’ roll with a father and godfather-like those two. Since his parents separated in 1975, he became passionate about it. First, he was a member of the Icicle Works and then his father’s All-Starr Party.
