Paul McCartney, Unfiltered: On Lennon, His Love for “Getting Stoned and Having Great Conversations,” and So Much More
Yeah. In fact, I think that’s why he and I didn’t really get on. Because he was so in their camp. And I so wasn’t. When anything happened, they would discuss it with Jann, and he would be their sounding board. So I didn’t feel like he was independent enough when he was talking to me. I was talking to someone who would report back to John. No doubt about it. Which wasn’t the world’s worst thing, because I didn’t have a massive need to do anything. Well, John was using Rolling Stone to define himself outside the Beatles. They were very much hand in glove with John and Yoko. I was curious about the effect that had for you, because Jann was always trying to get you to cooperate as well. Well, I was sort of sidelined at that time, because John, when he met Yoko—that signaled the end of the Beatles. Now, looking back, I can see it more clearly. In retrospect, John was always a kind of experimental guy with a weird …
Linda McCartney was ‘hurt’ by ‘ridicule’ from Beatles husband Paul’s fans, daughter Stella says
Get the inside track from Roisin O’Connor with our free weekly music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Stella McCartney has opened up about how hurt her mother Linda was by the bullying she received from fans of her husband Paul at the height of The Beatles’ fame. Paul McCartney first crossed paths with Linda Eastman in 1966, before they were properly introduced the following year. The couple tied the knot in 1961 and, following the disbanding of The Beatles in 1970, performed together in the band Wings. Having previously worked as a photographer, whose images had appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone, Linda didn’t come from a musical background, but sang and played keys in the group. As a result, she faced criticism from fans who questioned her inclusion and whether she was a deserving member of Wings. The hatred sent to Linda – who died of cancer in 1998 aged 56 – is discussed by the couple’s fashion …
Stranger Things Broadway’s Louis McCartney on Leaving, Campbell Bower Cameo
Next month, Louis McCartney’s time in the Stranger Things universe is up — at least at the Marquis Theatre. Who knows what the future holds, but for now, it’s understandably a bittersweet goodbye. The Irish-born actor originated the Stranger Things stage version of Henry Creel in the West End in late 2023. When Stranger Things: The First Shadow transferred to Broadway in 2025, he reprised the role, with previews beginning March 28 and opening night on April 22. In that time, the show achieved both critical and commercial success, breaking box-office records. McCartney received a Tony nomination for best lead actor in a play, and the highly anticipated final season of Stranger Things was released on Netflix. Written by Kate Trefry, with Stranger Things co-creators the Duffer Brothers on board as creative producers, The First Shadow is a prequel to the events of the horror series. It tells the story of how series villain Vecna came to be — and how he was once Henry. In the show, Jamie Campbell Bower plays Henry/Vecna and, for …
Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney has the internet in a chokehold
The first official look at Sam Mendes’ ambitious four-film Beatles project has landed, and the internet appears to be in rare agreement when it comes to Paul Mescal stepping into the role of Paul McCartney. And honestly? I get the hype. It’s giving less “actor playing Paul” and more “the spirit of McCartney himself briefly possessed this man,” sparking the kind of collective approval that almost never happens online. The stills offer the public its first real glimpse at Mendes’ unprecedented “cinematic event,” set to hit theaters in April 2028, which will tell the story of The Beatles across four interconnected films, each centered on a different member of the band — Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Mashable Trend Report SEE ALSO: The internet’s British boyfriends, ranked While anticipation has been high since the project was announced, Mescal’s McCartney has quickly emerged as the early standout, fueling excitement that Mendes’ high-risk, high-concept take on the most famous band in …
