Paul McCartney recalled how his friendship with John Lennon turned bitter before reconciling with him.
Paul McCartney just gave insights into his bitter-sweet friendship with John Lennon.The world is familiar with the legendary McCartney-Lennon partnership as well as their iconic band The Beatles, as rock and roll geniuses who gave music fans many of their favourite tracks till today.
Undoubtedly the two are some of the greatest musicians that ever graced the Earth but on a personal level, the duo teaming up was a rather bumpy ride.McCartney admitted the pain that Lennon’s rather sharp tongue used to cause him, saying, “When the Beatles had broken up and John was downing me a lot in public, that was probably the worst to take because I knew he [had] an opinion a lot of people listened to.”Admitting that this experience with his friend, who had then turned his enemy was blindsiding, continuing, “If it was just a critic saying, ‘Oh, McCartney’s stupid’, you know… But when it was John saying, ‘All you ever did was Yesterday’ I mean… that’s hurtful.”Quite infamous for feuding over writing credits, for example one of the incidents being, Lennon declaring that the song, In My Life was all him before the legendary guitarist stepped up in rebuttal.“It was hurtful,” the Hey Jude musician admitted, adding, “because I knew it would stick – like mud to the wall.”However, after Paul McCartney’s solo success from his albums, 1970’s McCartney and 1971’s Ram, that led fans to believe that the McCartney-Lennon duo might just be history, the only living member of The Beatles broke silence over the thoughts, saying, “It was a public hurt. Actually, in private, I had made my peace with him before he died.”
