In a classy ever-so-subtle dig at the harpie he s divorcing, Heather Mills, Paul McCartney has dedicated his new album to the memory of his dear wife, Linda, who succumbed to breast cancer in 1998. He , Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart). He spoke of how he poured his pain into the new album and used it as a way to work though his sadness.
He ended the press conference good-naturedly when a reporter asked about his divorce:
I am enjoying music. It s something I love to do. It s something that sustains me.
The new album was inspired by McCartney s late wife, Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998. It was started when Linda was alive, he said. It has a lot of my feelings for her in it.
When she died it stalled me and it took a year or so to before I could get back into it, he continued. And the interlude in the middle, the sad melody, is what got me back into it. So her spirit is very much in this.
It would have been her birthday yesterday, so it s very appropriate.
The press conference came to an end when a reporter asked about a story that had appeared in the morning s newspapers, apparently quoting McCartney as saying he found it hard to cope with his split from Mills.
McCartney said, Now wait a minute.
You re a little renegade, coming out of the corner here. I haven t read the Daily Mirror today. Have we someone breaking away from the script?
I think we have.
There was a report that Heather Mills was as a teenager, but that was undoubtedly a story made up by the British press, who are now free to make fun of her openly.
(I may not believe that story, but I do think . NSFW)
Heather and Paul s divorce is said to be moving along amicably, with people speculating as a settlement. Paul and Heather did not have a prenuptual agreement.
uh, are you guys thinking of John Lennon (previously married to Cynthia before Yoko?)
Linda was Paul s first wife. Period.
He was briefly engaged to Jane Asher in the 60 s, but they broke it off long before any real marriage plans, and they were certainly never married. This was Paul s only serious relationship before Linda. Thank you for your input, Jasmine I appreciate it.
I was a bit too critical about Heather Mills (chalk it up to one leg envy I guess okay sorry, that one was for you Boopie), but the fact that Paul married so soon after the death of his wife (a year or less, I believe) to someone nearly 30 years his junior, is lamentable. But yes, Heather Mills has done a lot for land mine victims (she lost hers in a motorcycle accident though??
?) and is a crusader for many charities.
I was a real big fan of Linda McCartney and everything she did she left her fortune which was a massive amount to her husband as well which was for naught since the new Lady McCartney gets a big ol chunk of that as well.
I really don t think I m a pervert though, Angelika. Maybe just rude.
Yes, he s worth 1.
5 billion dollars; I believe she can claim up to a quarter of that quite a hefty sum.
The guy should of had a Pre-nup. PERIOD.
Where did he find Heather at ? I think, if the guy had any smarts he d return to his hometown and find an older lady his age to just date. Or, if he likes the younger ladies - he should go to Ukraine and check out some of the ladies in the rural area.
Avoiding the city girls - as their getting westernized and getting a lousy attitude.
One must ask a personal question Why did his marriage fail in the first place. Did either of them seek counseling ?
I guess in this day and age, it s easier to part ways verses try and work things out.
Who cares what she was before she met him. Don t all women in some regard sell themselves in order to get what they want ?
