Paul McCartney feared for his life following Lennon assassination

27 August, 2015 - 0 Comments

Paul McCartney has admitted he was scared there was a Beatles serial killer on the loose following John Lennon’s assassination.

Speaking with Uncut magazine, Macca recalled his mindset in 1980 when he found himself the inadvertent subject of a mock invasion in his Scottish home.

“It was weird because in the days that followed it, I was sitting in the house. We had a little perimeter fence, mainly to keep foxes out, because we had some chickens. I’m aware of security threats, so I’m on high alert and I look out and I see someone with a f–king gun, like a machine gun, an assault rifle – ‘Wha?!’ He’s in full military gear, and then I see there’s a whole patrol of them. I’m going, ‘Holy shit, what’s going on?'” he told the British music magazine.

Fearing for his life, not to mention the Paul is Dead headlines the following day, the “Helter Skelter” singer worried he’d never see another day: “I don’t know what I did. I think I rang the police. It turned out to be army manoeuvres. [They said] ‘Oh, sorry. Are these your woods?’ I’d put two and two together and made a thousand. God, I don’t know how I lived through it. You think you’d just faint dead on the ground. But they were all there, coming through these woods.”

McCartney has recently been opening up about his relationship with the ill-fated Lennon, admitting to Esquire he was “frustrated” by the change of perception following Lennon’s death.
