This portrait of Julian Lennon – which shows his remarkable likeness to "Beatles" father, John Lennon – was taken at a Melbourne press conference in 1985.
The Beatles monster hit 'Hey Jude' was famously written by Paul McCartney about young Julian.
The young gun was in Australia promoting his megahit, 'Too Late for Goodbyes' — the first single from Lennon's 1984 debut studio album Valotte. The song was a top-ten hit, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart in November 1984 and number five on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1985.
