It was so lovely to talk to @sean_ono_lennon about his father for #JohnLennonat80, which airs on @bbcradio2 this weekend. When I first met John I was in awe, but he was so kind and sweet and generous. We hit it off immediately – as soon as we started talking, it felt like I’d known him my entire life 🚀
