Highlights
- Veteran singer Paul McCartney says he still finds it hard to believe that he was a member of iconic pop group The Beatles.
- The 69-year-old singer and songwriter started his career with the legendary band alongside John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison in the early 60s, Contactmusic reported.
- "I'm lucky that I've always retained a sense of wonder. I was looking at the George Harrison book accompanying Martin Scorsese's Living In The Material World film recently and opened it at a picture George had taken of me and the other guys on an aeroplane. It took me right back; I was like, 'Was I really there, in The Beatles?' It's obviously a stupid thought but I'm glad I haven't got used to it yet," he said.
- The My Valentine hitmaker famously fell out with Lennon after The Beatles disbanded in 1970 but said they were getting closer to repairing their relationship when he was killed by a crazed fan in 1980.
- "We were getting our relationship back together when John was killed but I don't think The Beatles would have got back together; we'd made a considered decision that we'd come from A to Z."
