Paul McCartney watched 'Yesterday' in disguise at the cinema and reveals he always

During an interview on Stephen Colbert , former Beatle Paul McCartney Nancy Shevell went undercover to a movie theater to watch Yesterday , a film that imagines a world without the band.

“It was really fun. We were in the back row, and someone in the movie says, ‘Paul McCartney, the greatest songwriter in history.’ I had to laugh. It was really cool. We wanted to see the movie with the people, not with the studio executives. I thought it was great,” he said.

He also confessed to constantly dreaming about John Lennon , his friend and former bandmate. "When you have such a close and deep relationship with someone, for so long, sometimes that person can visit you in your dreams. I love when that happens," he confessed.

McCartney also commented a bit on his relationship with the musician, revealing that he felt a strong connection with Lennon who, like him, lost his mother very early. “We both knew that feeling. I never thought it affected my music, until someone told me that 'Yesterday' could be about my mother. 'Why did she have to go? / I don't know / She didn't tell me.' I didn't write it with that intention, but maybe it is.”

At the end of the interview, the singer recalled a photo of himself with John Lennon and spoke about the negative way the press portrayed the end of the Beatles, as a fight between the members that resulted in the end of their friendship.

“I believed the idea that I was the 'villain' of the story. So many rumors circulated at the time. I started to question myself: 'Did I really know John? Were we friends?'. Seeing this photo reaffirms, for me, that we were. It was really cool when we worked together.”
