MusicYoko Ono ‘never got over’ relationship with John Lennon, says sonSean Ono Lennon put together a collector’s box of ‘Mind Games’, John Lennon’s albumtoday at 11:37

Sean Ono Lennon opened up about his parents, John Lennon and Yoko Onoand confessed that her mother “never got over that relationship.” During an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, sean talked about the launch of the collector’s box Mind Games (1973), solo album by the former Beatle.

Asked by the presenter Chris Hawkins about possible discoveries about his parents while assembling the collection, sean replied, “Well, one thing I noticed was that my mother was on some of the tapes; you could tell she was in the control room.”

“So a lot of people said something like, ‘A Yoko she wasn’t around on this album, why are they highlighting her in the liner notes or something?’ I think there’s a lot of history and a lot of assumptions made about that period because they were, in some ways, heading towards that famous separation that people call The Lost Weekendright? In Los Angeles, with May Pang”.

“But the truth is, even when they were apart, they were always talking, so I don’t think they ever really broke up. All of my father’s things were still in the apartment with my mother. It wasn’t like they had a real breakup. And besides, all my father thought about was her,” he continued.

sean added: “You look at the album cover, it’s a collage of my mom, literally the size of a mountain, and he’s this tiny little thing kind of fading into the background. I think it’s clear what his view of my mother was in his life. She was monumental, obviously. And the whole album is about her.”

“And she was there in the studio. So, I guess it didn’t change my view so much, but it kind of confirmed how deeply in love he was with my mother,” he said, going on to say that he believes his mother “never got over that relationship.”
