United Kingdom, May 13 -- John Lennon's son Julian Lennon has been diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD).

The 63-year-old singer-songwriter has urged his fans to "get checked out sooner than later" in case they have hidden health issues, after he was diagnosed with CHD - a type of heart disease that occurs when a heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries - and as a pre-diabetic.

He wrote on X: "After being diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease a Pre-Diabetic, I urge all to get checked out sooner than later, as you never know what hidden health issues you may have, even after exercising and eating as much 'good/healthy' food as possible.

Nip it in the bud! As they say...
