Paul McCartney reveals how he coped with Beatles split thanks to late wife Linda

Paul McCartney is opening up about how his wife helped him deal with the breakup of The Beatles.

In the documentary, “Paul McCartney: Man on the Run,” director Morgan Neville spoke with the 83-year-old musician about his life after The Beatles, and how a mantra he learned from his late wife, Linda McCartney, helped him cope, teaching him “not to be too uptight.”

“In a situation like that you lost your job, you can get uptight very easily,” he said. “One of my favorite expressions of hers was, you’d be saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I’d love to do so and so, but I can’t. I can’t,’ and she’d say, ‘It’s allowed.’ It’s like all the weight just went off. It’s allowed. Yeah, of course it is. So those kind of things really impressed me and I think probably made me think a lot more was allowed than was.”

Linda and Paul met in 1967, while she was working as a photographer, and were married two years later in March 1969. Throughout their marriage, the two welcomed three children: Mary, Stella and James.

In the documentary, Paul called Linda “a freeing influence,” saying that while she grew up in a “posh” area of New York and “was on track to become the sort of company wife,” that’s not what she wanted.
