John Lennon devoted himself entirely to the family and made no music from 1975-1980. After the assassination of John Lennon in December 1980 his mother sheltered him for several years from the public. Since about 1990, Sean Lennon came out in interviews and talked about his father. In 1988, 13-year-old Sean Lennon and Michael Jackson appeared in the video for Smooth Criminal and the Jackson movie Moonwalker. 1998 he produced his first album, Sean Lennon Into The Sun. The casual guitar-pop songs were well received by critics, but they were a commercial failure. In the U.S. the album reached only number 152 on the charts. Sean Lennon moved to the label Capitol Records in 2001 . There he published in September 2006 the album Friendly Fire. Directed by Michele Civetta, Lennon made to each piece of the album a short film. In these extravagant cinematic snapshots that together produce a concept album about betrayal and the failure of love, Lennon appears along with friends like Lindsay Lohan, Bijou Phillips, Asia Argento, Carrie Fisher, Devon Aoki, Jordana Brewster and Jordan Galland. On his debut album, Friendly Fire, Lennon played nearly every instrument himself While he composed himself for the most part, for the recordings of the songs that were mostly recorded in a single take, he put together a band with different musicians. Among other things, Jon Brion (organ, guitar and occasionally drums), Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto (piano, keyboards, bass), Harper Simon (guitar) and Bijou Phillips (background vocals).
