John Frieda, a British celebrity hairstylist and beauty entrepreneur, died on Nov. 3, "surrounded by his family," his salon announced on Instagram. "John was more than a mentor to us; he was a true icon of the hair industry. He was the person who taught us everything, believed in us, and made us better."
Frieda's celebrity clientele included high-profile celebs like Mick Jagger, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, and Scarlett Johansson. He was 75.
Lulu (born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie) recently took to Instagram to pay tribute to her late ex-husband, with whom she shares one child.
"Our last photo together June 2026," she wrote alongside a snapshot. "A lifetime of memories. RIP, Johnny," she added in the Nov. 9 post. In the candid snapshot, the "To Sir With Love' legend grins widely, wearing a white button-down. Meanwhile, her ex-husband, smiling with his arm around the singer, sports a tan blazer and a black T-shirt.
The 78-year-old "Boom Bang-a-Bang" singer was married to Frieda from 1976 until 1991. Their son, actor-turned-food entrepreneur Jordan Frieda, is 49. The celebrity hairstylist and beauty entrepreneur later married Avery Agnelli, the widow of Fiat heir Giovanni Agnelli. He shared two children and a stepdaughter with Agnelli.
Lulu's Fans Show Their Support After She Post Heartfelt Tribute to Late Ex-Husband
Meanwhile, Lulu's fans rallied behind her as she grieved the loss of her ex-husband and longtime friend.
"Beautiful picture, thinking of you all," one fan wrote in the comments section to Lulu's heartfelt post. "What an incredible man. Sending you huge love," another onlooker added. "So sorry for your loss; however your friendship said a lot about you both," another top comment read.
Indeed, Frieda once told The Times (via PEOPLE) that his famous singer ex "is an incredible person. And if I'd not been uptight, paranoid, not wanting to be 'Mr. Lulu'... But I was a young guy."
He also admitted to the outlet that he "never stopped loving her."
"She's the mother of my son," Frieda continued before calling his ex-wife "a great person."
He is survived by his wife, whom he married in 2019 after nearly two decades of partneship. He also leves behind his children Jordan, Luna, and Jackson; stepdaughter Azzi; and grandchildren Isabella and Edward.
