Julian Lennon Today
Julian’s first record, “Valotte,” became a major hit in 1984, garnering him two top 10 songs and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. However, his subsequent albums were not as highly acclaimed. Julian stepped away from the music business in 1991. In 2002, he published a different version of “When I’m Sixty-Four.” In 2009, he established the White Feather Foundation, a humanitarian or environmental organization named after something his father had told him. On the 70th anniversary of his father’s birth in 2010, Julian presented a display of 35 images, including his collection of Beatles memorabilia, to mark his father’s birth. “Timeless: The Photography of Julian Lennon” is a book on Julian Lennon’s photography.

Zak Starkey
Parents: Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox
Born: September 13, 1965
Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey had their first child, Zak, earlier that year after marrying earlier that year. Despite his father’s best efforts to keep his kid out of the increasingly stressful music profession, Zak was captivated by his father’s drums. After all, his godfather Keith Moon (of The Who) gifted him a drum kit when he was eight years old. With a father and godfather-like those two, it’s no surprise that the youngster was into drums and rock ‘n’ roll. He grew fascinated with it when his parents divorced in 1975. He was a member of the Icicle Works before joining his father’s All-Starr Party.
