Cynthia Lennon, the late John Lennon’s first wife, whose existence was once largely hidden from early Beatles fans, has died. She was 75 and suffered from cancer.


Julian Lennon, her musician son with John Lennon, announced the news on Twitter and a webpage.


His message said she died at her home in Mallorca, Spain, following a short battle with cancer. Julian, 51, was with her at her bedside at the time.


“The family are thankful for your prayers. Please respect their privacy at this difficult time,” the message on the website read.


Julian also posted a musical tribute to his mother, who was married to John Lennon from 1962 to 1968.
