John Lennon's first wife has lost her battle with cancer.
Cynthia Lennon passed away on Wednesday at her home in Spain. She was 75.
A statement posted on her musician son Julian Lennon's website reads: "Cynthia Lennon passed away today at her home in Mallorca, Spain following a short but brave battle with cancer."
"Her son Julian Lennon was at her bedside throughout. The family are thankful for your prayers. Please respect their privacy at this difficult time."
Julian has since posted a video tribute to his mother online.
Cynthia met the late Beatles star when she was 18, just before the Fab Four became pop icons. They wed in 1962 and she gave birth to their only child, Julian, in 1963.
Lennon divorced Cynthia in 1968 and went on to wed Yoko Ono the following year.
