Julian Lennon is said to be “shocked and saddened” by the death of his school friend Lucy Vodden, who had inspired the Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” Lucy died aged 46 after a long battle with lupus. According to sources, her death was announced at St. Thomas’ Hospital, which is where she was being treated.

The London hospital said that Lucy had been battling with Lupus for years. John Lennon decided to include his son Julian’s school friend in his song after his son had painted a picture of her. Julian told his dad John that it was “Lucy in the sky with diamonds.”

The Beatles frontman then decided to make the song more about the use of LSD instead. Julian Lennon had recently reached out to Lucy, hoping to get to know her once more as she battled her way through the disease.
