We had an influence on the whole world. I helped to compile we (the Beatles) Anthology albums, which unearthed alternative takes and forgotten recordings, and took part in the accompanying TV series. Perhaps as a result, my next album, Flaming Pie, saw me go back to the jazz and R&B songs that inspired us 30 years earlier. I also kept up my interest in classical music, and released two albums of dance music under The Fireman. In 1996, I opened the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, which was built on the site of my old school. The following year, I received a knighthood. However, the honor was overshadowed by the death of his wife, Linda, who died of breast cancer at the age 56 years old. I diverse interests came to the fore after my wife's death. I publicly exhibited I paintings for the first time, and released a book of poetry, Blackbird singing. I continued to record and tour, and headlined the Glastonbury Festival in 2004. But my music was overshadowed by my marriage to the model Heather Mills. We tied the knot amid considerable secrecy in Ireland in 2002. Following our marriage, Mills and I devoted much time to charity work, and recently campaigned against the slaughter of seal pups in Canada. We had a daughter, Beatrice, in the autumn of 2003. However, we separated last month, blaming press intrusion for putting a strain on our relationship.
Paul,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I would like to thank you and the band for creating such inspirational music! Congratulations on opening the performing arts institute. It is sure to cultivate many more talented artists such as yourself. On another note, I never knew you painted! I decided to take a look at them myself and they were touched the soul on so many levels. Thank you for sharing these great pieces to the public.
