n, 48, was five when his father left his mother Lennon, nee ,

for Yoko Ono. After that, his relationship with was famously difficult.

Contact Music reports that n tells Record Collector magazine, 'He was young

and didn't know what the hell he was doing. That's the reason I haven't had

children yet. I didn't want to do the same thing. No, I'm not ready. I want to

know who I am first.

'Mum was more about love than dad. He sang about it, he spoke about, but he

never really gave it, at least not to me as his son…. I remember thinking, when

Dad gave up music for a couple of years to be with , 'Why couldn't he do

that with me?' Those thoughts haunted me for a time.'

n, also a musician, released his most recent album Everything Changes in
