After 1970, Paul McCartney was also very impacted by the end of the relationship with John Lennon, a colleague of the Beatles, as it was before.
Legendary rock band that was active between 1960 and 1970, Beatles conquered legions of fans throughout the world. However, when it ended, the breakup not only impacted the admirers, but also Paul McCartneywho “resorted to drink” to deal with this situation.
During an interview with QA British in 2020, the musician explained how he was also greatly impacted by the end of friendship with one of his best friends (and also a member of Fab Four), John Lennonon December 8, 1980.
“I actually turned to drinking. There wasn’t a lot of time to have mental health issues, it was just, fuck it, it’s drink or sleep,” he said. McCartney in the conversation after being asked if the music industry has affected his mental health. “But I’m sure they did, because those were very depressing times.”
To overcome this bad moment in life, the artist had help from someone very important: Linda Eastman, his wife at the time. “I managed to… come out of my depression saying, ‘Okay, this is really bad and I have to do something about it,'” she revealed. “So I did. And I guess that’s my way, almost being my own psychiatrist.”
