Paul McCartney Reveals How Linda Saved Him After Beatles Split

In late 1969, Paul McCartney was reeling from the impending breakup of the Beatles, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

John Lennon had left the group, and while they'd kept it quiet, McCartney packed up his family and retreated to a remote Scottish farmhouse.

Paul McCartney retreated to Scotland with his family after John Lennon left the Beatles in 1969.  "He is not wanting to get out of bed and drinking way too much once he did get out of bed," said biographer Allan Kozinn.

"He's completely depressed. He had been in the Beatles his whole adult life. It was the only job he knew."

Suddenly, Kozinn said, "Paul had a lot of self-doubt."It was the darkest time in Paul's life to that point. "I didn't know what to do at all," the iconic singer recalled. "How could anything I do be as good as the Beatles?" As he sunk into sadness, "that left [wife] Linda with the job of trying to bring him back to life," said Kozinn, coauthor of the book The McCartney Legacy: Volume 1: 1969-73.

"Linda's got these two kids, and they're in the middle of Scotland in a ramshackle farmhouse, and she's trying to hold it all together."
