But McCartney's most enduring relationship remains his three-decade marriage to his first wife Linda Eastman, the New York photographer who captured his heart and stood loyally by his side until her untimely death from breast cancer in 1998 at just age 56. Even two subsequent marriages later, McCartney still feels Linda's presence and influence profoundly. Now as the legend passes another milestone, he's admitting publicly in an exclusive interview that she was the one who truly defined him.
Why does McCartney feel so compelled to make this soul-baring confession now about his never-forgotten first wife? What did the self-made American woman - so unlike the showbiz types McCartney was used to - mean to him at the height of Beatlemania and beyond? How did their artistic and romantic bond inspire breakthroughs for his songwriting and family life? What indelible impact did losing her have on McCartney and his career? And after rollercoaster flings and rebounds that left his image reeling, why does he credit Linda with anchoring his most meaningful growth into elderhood?
Whether a longtime McCartney fan or newcomer curious about the man beyond the hits, our video offers an intimate look at the profound confession from a pop icon who found his true soulmate in a storybook romance cut short by fate's cruel hand. Even as he continues making history into his ninth decade, McCartney realizes no one ever matched Linda's magic.
At 81, Paul McCartney Confesses She Was the Love of His Life - บันเทิง
I think Paul understood full well he was lucky to have such a strong, loving down to earth woman by his side.
They both Paul & Linda, they wer both creative people. They both had very nice good imaginations. They combined their ideas, and that, that made a perfect match. This is one of the reasons, why Linda was capable to fit into the WINGS. Unlike the other girl friends, or wifes. Yes, and they both liked indipendece - the honest to god given nature - eating / using natural things. And yes, they were indeed, tallented! God rest you in peace LINDA.
I loved Linda McCartney, she was a very down to earth woman who did not give a crap what people thought of her, I loved her photography, I loved her humanity and her love for animals held no bounds it was unconditional. My children and I enjoyed her pasties, sausages, and I still to this day buy Linda McCartneys. I can remember her being diagnosed with breast cancer and thought that she was going to recover she was such a good strong good hearted woman 😢❤
She revolutionised vegetarian food. She was a very good woman.
@@Waryofweirdos A good woman but the highly processed food has bad consequences. Unintended consequences causing cancers, diabetes and heart disease.
God bless her soul.
Big Beatles fan & fan of Paul. Linda was creative, too. She never tried to "clip his wings" creatively. She understood artists need a "home life", too! I was heartbroken when Linda died. I'm happy he didn't close off his heart and in doing so, has found "true love" again. Very happy for Sir Paul also known as "Grandude". 😊😊
No big surprise there. It was Linda. I'm sure they would have stayed together too, both being family types. She was a good mother I think.
Linda was his soul mate, she was down to earth.. They just clicked together, and having children , liked Paul said, they also have alot in common.. If she was still around they would still be together.. ❤❤
In all the years they where together .They never spent a night apart.
Except a week or so when he was in jail in Japan.
definetly they would still be together they were soulmates without a shadow of doubt
Yes, she was and they had a great life together. She was amazing and so grounded. And that's why he wrote Maybe I'm Amazed for her.
I remember feeling so happy hearing of the marriage of Paul and Linda. I loved Linda.
Me too, Linda was such a great wife, partner, mother and support system for Paul. They shared a great love.
you must of been the only one, if i recall most people were upset according to the news ..you must of been in the 1%
@@user-gb9iv5op3y Actually most weren't bothered either way - same as for John, George and Ringo. Marriage doesn't make a jot of difference to fan fantasies lol
"Maybe I'm Amazed", was written for the lovely Linda, that says it all!
❤
Linda was all in. She filled the Jane space and more importantly, the Lennon space. Paul relied on her for his support system. She was confident in herself.
Nobody has ever filled the Lennon space.
@@gretchennelson7056It was a totally different space than the Jane space that Linda filled.
Linda was his true love because of her patience inteligence and devotion to Pauls wellbeing. What people don't know is that Linda also had the magical healing touch.
Linda also knew
I have a friend that babysitted for a summer at theirs farm and she said it was not luxury they were so grounded and very all nice to her! She said they were very good people!
@@mysterytour5983 yes they are still very real and good people.
Linda protected Paul..she had his back. I knew that he would be ok when he let her love him. He loved that she was the best mom. He's good with wife now. She's warm&kind.
Yup. Linda was the best. Great wife, great mother, great support system and so down to earth and a champion for animals. And a talented photographer! And his wife now is a good woman!
I was in junior high when Paul was with Jane. My friends and I thought they made such a cute couple. We were mad when they broke up.
Is this actually news for those of us around at the time! It was obvious to everyone their relationship was as good as it gets! He never let her down caring for her to the very end🌹
Paul and Linda, eternal love!!!
Linda was so wonderful and so perfect for Paul
They were soulmates. She was real no make up, comfortable in her own skin, funny confident and you could see how Paul loved her the way he looked at her. They just clicked
I was unaware Paul had 're married after Heather, but then ill health means I missed a lot of goings on. I grew up with the Beatles era and loved their music. I wish Paul all the best for the future and thank him for the memories
Paul was 21 when Jane was 17!! That's a far cry from 25!!. He was 25 when they got engaged. He had just turned 26 when they split up in 1968.
Janes Brother is the guy Austin Powers is based on.
@Henutai-Semite 😂❤😅n 2:40X3257
I know right, the inaccuracies are just so amateurish at times
You don't always get the opportunity to be with your soulmate, most people settle for being comfortably numb, or tolerating someone they don't like because it makes sense financially.
Losing somebody like Linda for him must be still hard to deal with after all this time.
You can't fault the guy for trying again, even if he wasn't compatible with Heather. I hope he has found something similar with his current wife.
I didn't find my soulmate until I was 51 years old. Thank God I did though. So I can truly understand what Linda meant to him.
All the power to him
What a mistake Heather was! Just a bad match. So glad he found a stable, lovely woman to share his life with, someone without the drama.
All the best to them!
I Had To Wait 62 Years To Find My Soul Mate ❤ 6 Years Later I Love My Man More Than Ever ❤
Paul was 21 in 1963 when he met Jane Asher, not 25. He was born in 1942.
Also at the time it was widely known he met Linda at his and Jane's engagement party. it was that that caused the eventual break up, apparently.
Mutual respect of course. Linda was a home maker Paul was obviously very happy. She became integral part of his band wings. When I saw them in March 1993 Adelaide oval it was a magnificent concert. Linda on keyboards there harmonies were wonderful. Beatles songs entwined with wings effortlessly flowing. Drive my car, let me roll it, silly love songs etc. At that stage been married 24years. I'm glad I witnessed this great couple and band together. Extremely sad when Linda died just a few years later. Linda was the grounding force behind Paul. RIP Linda beautiful inside and out. 🙏🙏🙏♥️💙💜
God bless him. It’s very tough trying to find someone genuine in the spheres of fame: I am glad he and his current wife have found a happy union. It’s what Linda would have wanted. Heather Mills one puts down to experience- haven’t many of us had a ‘Heather?’ It will all work out.
Jane Asher is my favourite Beatle girl.♥️
Linda was the only one he loves and it’s so beautiful he always loved her a wonderful woman and there children. God Bless You always from Robyn and family.
What a silly thing to say - "Linda was the only one he loves". Clearly not. He loved several women before Linda, as is normal when growing up and testing relationships. And he has been married for over a decade to a woman he loves, Nancy.
No surprise - it was obvious at the time that this was a monumental connection. RIP lovely lady.
Paul is an incurable romantic. He could have saved some money by having a prenuptual agreement with Heather Mills but he thought she was in love with him, not his money. The third one Nancy gets along with his kids and is rich herself so hopefully this will last for the rest of his life as it is way too late for another marriage.
I’m glad you did finally find your soulmate. I was lucky to have found mine too.😊
Wrong info! Paul and Linda first met at the Bag of Nails Club in London
Jane and Peter Asher were child actors and appeared in a few Robin Hood episodes in the early 60’s.
I think you are not fair towards Nancy. She is gorgeous and a very very stable woman, putting up superbly with all the pressures and comments coming from all sides, including this video. Remember that she could have made her live much more simple if she just chose someone else for her husband.
No mention of Paul's daughter with Heather?
Very well done, enjoyed that. Yes, "Quiet Power" Paul.
Linda eastman was an incredible beautiful highly inteligent lady, i believe she gave paul everything he needed.
The loss of linda effected me. Paul & linda and my own mum inspired me to become vegetarian.
I believe that my mum went vegetarian partly because of linda.
I lost my mum 3 years after linda to the same disease at 57.
As much as i am a fan of the beatles, i too am a fan of wings.
Lindas beautiful backing harmonies on so many of those wings songs are pure beauty beyond belief.
Linda and paul were perfect for one another. (Lots of love peace and inspiration here.)❤
Mum dead at 57 & Linda dead at 56 -- both from aggressive breast cancer. Still feeling 'inspired' by your vegetarianism?
@@trevorsmith7753 Thank you for your kind comment sir. I went meat free on my 18th birthday in 1997 and decided to go vegan new year of 2020 at 40. I have never felt the need to take supplements, i eat a lot of high fibre cereal fortified with b12 with sugar free drinking soya which is also fortified b12. You become more creative and aware with what works best with food when you decide plant based diet. It really opens your mind with insight to certian things you wouldn't of cared to have know before.
Sadly i have heard that certian food industries of some other countries add far too much sugar into some foods in comparison to others which can ruin the health benefits.
The food industry has many answers that need questioning.
Ive never judged people with what they eat, it is quite a personal subject, but its also about ones happiness. But i do care for healthier eating habits, the animals, our planet and that towards the healthier lifestyle of loved ones.
Linda was already pregnant with Mary when they got married.
Linda had class, unlike Yoko Ono.
Linda was called a star fuker. She was agroupie.
boomerang1125, why minimize another human being? this has nothing to do with Yoko Ono, why bring her to the mix? by the way you sound classist, you must be English, its in you...thank God Linda was an American (Americans are down to earth)..
@@igzuniga Yoko One was a home wrecker (while she was already married to someone else who she abandoned along with their daughter, as was John Lennon also married and who likewise abandoned his 1st son Julian). She was a talentless poseur, a heartless grifter posing as a performance artist who domineered the weak-minded John Lennon's listless lazy life till the day he died, destroying the Beatles in their wake. She sapped away any creative inspiration he'd had and destroyed any synergy John had with Paul McCartney a creative writing team. None of Lennon's post-Beatles work held up the way his Beatles-era compositions did. Yoko Ono was Lennon's Svengali, his self-anointed Wallis Simpson (a counterpoint to a weak, feckless, irresponsible Edward VIII). When Lennon was murdered, she didn't give 1 cent to Cynthia or Julian Lennon. The cold hearted, uninspired, drugged-up shell of a man that Lennon became after meeting Yoko Ono ended with him willing everything to Yoko Ono.
Compare that to the class and the synergy that Paul and Linda had. He had a prolific writing period at least through his Wings years. Starting in 2002, he's been a touring icon for over 20 years belting out the best of his Beatles compositions as well as the best of his Wings material. Paul & Linda raised down to earth, talented children who became their own people. You could argue that Julian Lennon had a brief bout with recording success. Sean Lennon is a leech just like his mother as well as the the heir to the John Lennon estate when the "almost-dead" 90-something y/o Yoko Ono finally dies.
He also had a child with Heather Mills you didn't mention, plus some of your so called facts are also wrong!🙄........
Have they got his age right ...
They’ve gotten several things wrong in this video. Apparently the creator couldn’t care less about proofing; only clicks.
I think Jane Asher was a Doctors daughter. I don’t think he was sharp enough for her❗️
Jane had beauty, class, and intelligence. Paul treated her badly.
They both truly took time to get to know each other. Then love came live..
Beautiful love story ❤️
Linda was his rock! Strong, beautiful and modest. Definitely the best he ever had! Too sad she was gone so soon otherwise they'd still be together.
Lots of misinformation in a single video. It is not even possible to number them all because they are too many. And, come on, I have serious doubts he said Linda was the love of her life. He would not be so rude to his wife. Because that would be a total disrespect to Nancy. Paul is a gentleman. He would never say to the world, though Nancy is his wife, he doesn't love her same way as he loved Linda. Gosh, Nancy would ask for divorce after that.
Correct
You ask what kept them together . Love for each other ,kept them together.Just like it does for lots of couples that are fortunate enough in love to stay together. It's a wonderful feeling to be loved and be in love.❤❤ Love is all.
Linda was the driving force behind Paul McCartney, she is the one who inspired the group Paul McCartney and the Wings. When she passed away, part of Paul passed away as well. They were truly soul mates, and in some ways they still are to this very day. She loved him and he loved her🎉🎉
What a lovely story.😊
Also not mentioned was Linda's six-year old daughter from a previous relationship, Heather, who he adopted and helped (to) raise.
You forgot his other child, with that woman, er, Heather Mills. We never hear about her.
Beatrice. Who identifies as a man.
Seems Heather made out ok. Kinda tacky to say, “she was the love of my life,” when you have remarried.
TWICE
McCartney was 21 when he met Jane Asher, not 25.
I think that what is meant to be, is meant to be. If two souls are meant to meet, they will meet. Nobody on earth can stop that from happening. That has nothing to do with money and everything to do with the soul. Sadly, I think those with that much money are thrown in an area where people who can't see past money alone tend to harm others both unintentionally and intentionally. I think those who actually need money for physical reasons are not immune to the evil money can create. Yet, some think of them as if they are immune but they too have a soul that can be turned. They just also know what money can buy. In some cases, money can infact help create a normal lifespan but there is a limit to what some souls can look past because money can be taken too far. It all has to do with what the soul itself can take and what is meant to be. Even more sadly, some in society will not see past physical hardships like a missing leg and into the soul of one who has turned making it easier for them to actually harm another. I don't know if they harm meaning to or not but I DO know that Paul was never alone there. Sadly, I'm sure that some can fully relate. Linda will always be his true love though because that was meant to be. Leg or no leg, noone can ever change that fact. What is beyond this world and seriously meant to happen will infact happen, there is absolutely no changing that fact.
I watched a documentary about Paul and Linda not long after her death. Shortly after, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer. I told my devastated Dad that Paul McCartney with all his money and influence couldn't save his beloved wife, so how could we?
Wings wouldn't have been the same without Linda's backing vocals. For whatever reason, her voice "fit" those songs.
Jane was 17 and Paul nearly 21 when they met .
Paul McCartney was 21 when he met Jane Asher, not 25. He was born in 1942 and she in 1946.
Don't Let the truth get in the way of a good story !!!
Yes. He was abusive apparently.
I heard she slept around a lot
Her dad had songs written for his daughters and hers, "Linda", became "our song" as well for all us Linda born around the same time. RIP sister Linda...
Clicked it then quickly paused it to read the comments. The verdict is in... this video is a waste of time. Thank you, all.
Linda was a solid talent in her own right. Her photography was amazing as were her recipes and books.
Not much of a singer though.
@@pamelasayrebutt8583 or attractive.
MICK JAGGER not mentioned ? Why the picture ?
I believe that Paul and Linda had the only Beatles marriage where they were completely faithful to one-another. (Even John had his "lost weekend", where he strayed from Yoko, eventually shacking up with May Pang. for some time during the earl'y '70s.). Paul later said that the only night that he and Linda ever spent apart during their entire marriage was the night that he spent in jail after the infamous drug bust in Japan.
Paul LIVED in the Asher home for several years for heaven's sake, lol.
64-67
There was no mention of the child Paul had with Heather. A daughter named Beatrice.
Who identifies as a man
@@eaccristoWho said?
Error: Paul was not 25 when he began dating Jane Asher. He was 22. She was 18, not 17.
You are a historian.
? what about the girl who had his baby in the early days in Hamburg or the french girl that had a baby named Michelle ! or that he looked different in 67 ?
Paul had a lot of unprotected fun from 1959 to 1969 and never paid the child support due.
Bettina Hübers was born in December 1962 in Hamburg. Her mother Erika claimed McCartney asked her to abort the baby and sought alimony at the time. McCartney denied the accusations and also that he was the baby's father. But he did pay her a sum of money.
In 1966 the Beatles were about to embark on a European tour. McCartney was informed by the German courts that a matter of maintenance had to be settled before he set foot in Germany. Lawsuits continued until Bettina turned 18. In 1983, she and her mother went to court yet again to ask for maintenance payments.
McCartney apparently took a blood test that came back negative. But for some reason, the courts rejected the results and made him pay maintenance anyway. Four years later, working in Berlin as a hairdresser, Bettina lost her court cases on appeal and was liable to pay legal costs of £60,000. McCartney’s lawyer advised Paul to pay it so as not to bankrupt Hübers.
The story did not go away but was kept well under the radar in the UK (unlike the Heather Mills divorce).
In 2007 Hübers claimed that McCartney sent a stand in to take the paternity test and wanted a new one conducted. She also claimed the signature was a false one in the original 1980s documents and was written by a right handed person. However after further investigations the case was dropped. Bettina looks a lot like her father.
Guitar player and singer MICHELLE McCARTNEY celebrated at the Paris's fashionable night club 'Aux Bains Douches' the release of her new musical album MICHELLE, which is going on the stands this month in the U.S. and in most European countries.
Michelle was born from a romantic relationship of Paul McCartney and the French aristocrat Monique La Vallier. They were respectively 17 and 15 at the age she was conceived.
The artist, who makes her home in Paris, defines her music style as Hard Rock with a backdrop of pounding and trash-bag rhythm that began in Hollywood where she spent the last fifteen years of her life playing in underground bands as a left-hand guitarist (like Paul).
Michelle McCartney was born as Michelle Le Vallier in Paris on April 5, 1961 and her birth certificate states that her father is James-Paul McCartney from England.
All of her life as a child Michelle grew up ignoring that she was Paul McCartney's daughter. Her mother just used to say, 'You know, Michelle, your father was a very handsome hippy boy I met when I was a teenager. I became pregnant from our short relationship and when I tried to tell him, he was gone and I never saw him again.'
Michelle however discovered who her father was when at age 15, she went to pick up her birth certificate and saw her father's name. As she confronted her mother again, Monique was obliged to tell her the truth, and Michelle tried to make contact with her father without success.
Back in 1993, when Michelle asked the Los Angeles Court to oblige Paul McCartney to undergo a blood-test that could prove that he is her father, very cleverly Paul slipped out of the U.S. in time not to be served with the legal papers that would have obliged him to pass the test.
@@trevorsmith7753😢
didn't Linda also have a daughter named Heather from her first marriage??
Loved Linda. Miss her ❤ she brought out the absolute best in him
First you said he met Linda in 69 then you said he met her in in 67?
This idiot doesn't have a clue about any of this, let alone a clue of what he's saying.
Pauls a good person
What a bloody stupid headline. Why would he 'confess' that Linda was the love of his life? Everyone already knew that. And it isn't as though it's something he would be ashamed of. The word 'confesses' is entirely inappropriate: A better word, in the context, would be 'celebrates' (that she was the love of his life).
That's right, you confess to doing something bad.
Cared so much about Linda he was remarried within a year..oh please!😂
It was 4 years Linda died in 1998. Paul remained in 2992 in case you can't count. That s 4 years
@@rachaelmorgan4025 2992? You need math 101.
It lasted the test of time becoz Linda was an amazing human - talented in her own right. She was a trailblazer for animal rights. There will never be another ‘Lovely Linda ! ❤
This must make Nancy feel like leftovers.
He didn’t stay single very long after His love died.
He grieved heavily for 1.5 years and finally came out of depression and learned to carry on.
🤣🤣🤣🤣then married that model and had another child. Then Nancy got the old Paulie.
Well, in 1964 when Jane was 17, Paul was 21, not 25.
Paul was 21 in 1963
You made too many mistakes to correct. It is your opinion but not facts. That's for sure.
Ain't THAT the truth!!!
Just another TH-cam/Internet load of crap.
He deserves all of the $$$$ etc. he ls all about love. 💟
I was in love with a great bloke and considered him my soulmate unfortunately he didn’t feel the same
Pienso que fue su tabla salvavidas a la que se pudo aferrar. Su amor verdadero creo que fue Jane.
A bit of a kick in the teeth for his present wife.
Not at all a kick in the teeth. His current wife knows all about him and the great love he shared with Linda. Who wouldn't have wanted him to have shared a great love? It made him a better person. And a good husband.
He adopted her daughter
Puff piece
Puff? How about pure bullshit!
Got the camera, got the 👑, let's go, make music, up off that chair
You totally forgot Paul's fourth child.
Heather is their oldest daughter.
we only ever have one true love in our lives ,,conan 76
Paul wanted Jane to tour with him, he hinted he might be lonely if she didn’t, she said I have my own career, Paul was true to his word and cheated on her, because of this Jane ended the engagement. This is why Linda always toured with Paul.
You have big, wrong facts. Yes, Paul and Linda were 1. Linda helped Paul, mcmac, the way Yoko help John deal with the pain. Mcmac went to farm, J&Y, protested the war. John raged. Mcmac retreated. We are who we are. What did mcmac do upon Linda's passing? Linda passed at property in Tucson, not Santa Barbara. He retreats. HE LOVED HER. NEVER A DOUBT.
Faul already had the scottish farm,as jane said it might be a good retreat for him,pictures of jane and him on it and with marchers the english she dog.
What pain?
@@judis6224 Jane? It was Linda. They went shortly after Mary was born. Both Linda and Yoko were at last shoot. August 22, 1969, at home in Ascot. Linda was very pregnant, about a fortnight later. It was good. Everyone went their own way and all of us got lost along the way.
@user-mi1oh1bf2o it was jane who said get the farm on Scotland,find the pictures on line she's there with faul and Martha the english sheep dog.
Oh brother...Billy
I could never understand why so many men with large fortunes are stupid enough not to make a marriage contract with their wives-to-be, seriously limiting their financial take in case of divorce. This should particularly apply to women whose funds are just a tiny fragment of their future husband's. I couldn't deal with the suspicion that someone is marrying me primarily for my money.
❤❤❤❤
I know that ❤️❤️❤️❤️
twin flames , not just soul mates
Everyone hated Heather, especially after a true heart like Linda.
Linda was the best wife for Paul. She stayed with him through everything from the Beatles' unceremonious disbandment to his drug-related arrests. Even though Paul remarried twice after Linda passed away, his love for her will live on forever.
The only thing in that whole spot about Paul and his devotion to Linda that was stated incorrectly is that his project the Fireman was formed on the heels of his divorce to heather , the fireman project stems back to 1993 with "Strawberries Ocean Ship Forest" and "Rushes" in 1998 . "Electric Arguments " was made after that divorce!
Her name is Jane Asher, not Jean
Paul a gemini, Linda a libra. Good match 🙂
Check out Paul and Linda's ranch that they owned in Tucson, AZ where Linda and Paul and family lived.
That's where Linda's ashes were scattered so he still owns it.
Linda was a New Yorker.
@@DawnSuttonfabfourDidn’t Linda pass away there?
@@elizabethmcleod246 I believe she was in hospital. paul was holding her hand and saying "You are riding your fine Appalacian(??) horse. the sun is shining through the trees..." they rode their horses on their ranch where her ashes were scattered. This was as she was literally dying. I'm paraphrasing but that's the gist. They say hearing is the last to go. Poor Paul.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Thank you. I remember her horse was at the funeral.
She was no doubt the other love of his life
I feel that Jane Asher was a very significant 'love of his life'
WRONG! Peggy Lipton came AFTER Jane Asher.
And in other news, water is wet and the sun is hot!
Because Linda wasnt after Fame and Fortune and she put "Family" First 😍
To answer your question: What do we know???
