In an interview with CNN, Julian explained that he is coming to terms with the fact that his younger half-brother Sean had a closer relationship with the late Beatle than he ever did. &amp;quot;Surprisingly, Sean has an incredible amount of understanding and love,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;And I think he recognises that situation and the fact that\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 to a degree I was abandoned as a kid, ya know, twice if not three times in many respects.&amp;quot; The &amp;#039;Too Late For Goodbyes&amp;#039; singer continued: &amp;quot;And so he&amp;#039;s a smart boy\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 We were both dealt a difficult blow and we&amp;#039;ve both dealt with it pretty well, I think.&amp;quot; John died on December 8, 1980 after being shot four times by disgruntled fan Mark David Chapman outside the former Beatle&amp;#039;s New York City apartment building.
