Throughout their careers, the duo wrote songs for other artists, together and individually, spreading hits out to the likes of The Rolling Stones, pop duo Peter & Gordon, and even their old bandmate Ringo Starr. Hi, John.The songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney stretched well beyond their songs for The Beatles. I never pass it without saying: “All right, John. But you know, after he was killed, he was taken to Frank Campbell’s funeral parlor in New York. So it’s little things that I am able to do, but I know that none of them can get over the hill and make it OK. “That was nice - to talk about how cool John was and fill in little gaps in his knowledge. You do things to help yourself out of it. Having said that, of course I do think about it, and it’s horrible. But denial is the only way that I can deal with it. “Because I can’t get over the senseless act. What can you think about that besides anger, sorrow? Like any bereavement, the only way out is to remember how good it was with John.” So much so that I can’t really think about it. In an interview with The New York Times back in 2020, Paul McCartney talked about he deals with John Lennon’s death and revealed that more than 40 years later is still not easy: “It’s difficult for me to think about. Paul still can’t cope with Lennon’s death But there are no photos or videos of that meeting. 4 years before Lennon was murdered at the door of the Dakota building, where he lived in New York, on December 8, 1980. The two would still meet one last time in New York, in 1976. Stevie Wonder was at the piano, Paul on drums and John on guitar and vocals. Lennon and McCartney saw each other for the first time in two years and was during this visit that they played together for the last time. When he was at Harry Nilsson‘s house, Paul and Linda McCartney made a surprise visit and saw John Lennon and Ringo Starr working on Nilsson’s new album. There, he hang out with many other musicians like Harry Nilson, Alice Cooper and more. It was during this period that the last known photos of the two together were taken. He was about to launch Double Fantasy.” The last times they saw each other face to faceīack in March 1974 during the famous “ lost weekend” period that John Lennon was separated from Yoko Ono and went from New York to Los Angeles with then girlfriend May Pang. This housewife wants a career!’ It was that time for him. I remember he said, ‘Oh, God, I’m like Aunt Mimi, padding round here in me dressing gown’ …robe, as he called it, cuz he was picking up the American vernacular… ‘feeding the cats in me robe and cooking and putting a cup of tea on. And thinking about getting on with his career.
Enjoying his life very much Sean was a very big part of it. “It was just a very happy conversation about his family, my family. It could have easily been one of the other phone calls, when we blew up at each other and slammed the phone down.” But fortunately for me, the last phone conversation I ever had with him was really great, and we didn’t have any kind of blowup. That is a nice thing, a consoling factor for me, because I do feel it was sad that we never actually sat down and straightened our differences out. When asked if he recalled his final conversation with Lennon, Paul replied: “Yes. About what Paul McCartney and Lennon talked the last time they spoke When asked about his final conversation with Lennon, Paul revealed that although they didn’t had the chance to resolve the hard feelings in their friendship it was a happy chat.
