John Lennon's Two Children Have Now Both Been Nominated For Grammys
John Lennon won Grammys both as a member of The Beatles and as a solo artist. He collected several prizes during his lifetime, and perhaps even more following his death. The rocker is nominated again this year, as is one of his two children.
Sean Ono Lennon has been nominated for his first Grammy, and he joins his family tradition in the honor. The youngest son of the late musician is up for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, which is awarded to the art directors who produced a physical product that stands out as especially inventive or creative. The musical act that wrote and recorded the work is not necessarily nominated, unless they also played a role in the art direction.
Sean is nominated for the work he did on the recent re-release of his father’s album Mind Games. The set was shared again earlier this year as a deluxe collectible box set that features half a dozen CDs.
Lennon’s youngest son, whom he shared with wife Yoko Ono, is a first-time nominee at the 2025 Grammys. He’s up for the specific category alongside Simon Hilton, and the two will share the award, should they win.
Sean is the second of Lennon’s children, and both have now been nominated for Grammys. Julian, the Beatle’s first child with Cynthia Lennon, enjoyed a short but successful music career shortly after his father’s passing in the early ‘80s. He was once nominated for Best New Artist, an award he lost to Sade.
