He Did What?

Julian Lennon, the eldest son of John Lennon, has sold a financial stake in his late father's songs to Primary Wave Musical Publishing, a year-old company based in New York. No word on the deal's terms, but evidently the agreement concerns songwriting income rather than publishing rights and the catalog share is significant. Last year Primary Wave forked over $50 million to Courtney Love for a 50 percent stake in her late husband Kurt Cobain's publishing catalog.
