McCartney Times

Sir Paul McCartney chokes up listening to the song he penned about his and John Lennon’s “disputes about The Beatles break up”.

The 79-year-old music legend has revealed he struggles to listen to ‘Dear Friend’, which was released on the debut album by his band Wings, ‘Wild Life’, which he formed with his then-wife Linda following the demise of the ‘Let it Be’ group in 1971.

In a new Q&A on PaulMcCartney.com, he said: “And then with ‘Dear Friend’, that’s sort of me talking to John after we’d had all the sort of disputes about The Beatles break up. I find it very emotional when I listen to it now. I have to sort of choke it back.

“I remember when I heard the song recently, listening to the roughs (remastering works-in-progress) in the car. And I thought, ‘Oh God’. That lyric: ‘Really truly, young and newly wed’.”

Lennon was fatally shot, aged 40, outside his New York City apartment in the famous Dakota building by Mark David Chapman in December 1980.
