Yoko Ono has reportedly ceased heading up various business dealings with The Beatles and John Lennon and has transferred those responsibilities to her son, Sean Ono Lennon.

U.K's The Mirror reports Sean was appointed as the director of "eight companies linked to Yoko and the Beatles, including Apple Corp. He also joined the board at Lensolo, which deals with music rights of some of John’s solo work."

Yoko, 87, has made very few, if any, public appearances in recent years and is dealing with an unspecified illness. The Mirror reports Yoko said during a public appearance in 2017, "I’ve learned so much from having this illness." However, she never clarified to what illness she was refering.
