John Lennon's son Julian has emergency surgery after skin cancer diagnosis

On Wednesday, Julian Lennon, John Lennon's son, took to social media to reveal his cancer diagnosis in a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter).

"Well, here’s how this goes… Before I flew to New York from Los Angeles, for good morning America, Sirius XM, iHeart Radio & My Fotografiska Q&A Book Signing Event, I went to see, as I usually do when in LA, My lovely Dermatologist – Dr Tess, was the one who caught & operated on My Mole/Skin Cancer, a few years ago, and literally saved My Life," he wrote. "Anyway, after having just finished ‘GMA,’ I received a message from Dr Tess, with some urgency to return to Los Angeles, as I had 2 locations on My Skin, Shoulder & Forearm, one of which was Melanoma, that should be operated on ASAP!" Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"So instead of going home to put my Christmas tree up and happily finish the year off, relaxing at home, I flew directly back to Los Angeles, after all my work in New York was done, and went directly from LAX airport, to surgery, with a surgeon recommended by Dr Tess – who spent several hours cleaning up and operating on me, with large margins, in the hope that we have, at the end of the day – clear margins, which would mean being free from cancer," he continued.
