“And I had to do a bit of a double take; it was a very strange feeling, really spooky,” Cynthia added.

“But from that moment on, no. No, because Julian is his own man now.”

She went on to say she had just been to Los Angeles to see Julian perform, admitting: “I was really worried because I thought, what is this going to be like? It’s gong to be really emotional and highly charged.”

Cynthia added that she thought she would be “blubbering the whole time” watching the son she shares with John performing on stage.
