McCARTNEY – I FEEL FINE!

Reported Health Scare Is Rubbish Says Former Mop Top

It would seem that the media have got so used to printing weird and wacky stories about Sir Paul over the last couple of years that now they have resorted to making them up!

The tabloids have reported that the former Beatle’s heart is in such a bad way that he booked into a secret private hospital to undergo coronary angioplasty. The scouse songster was only alerted to the story when he was inundated with calls from friends concerned about his health.

In an open letter posted on his website he says,

"People are ringing and texting me saying, 'Are you OK?' And I hadn't seen the report, so I was puzzled by so many enquiries about my health. So I think it's a good time to put this rumour to rest. What happened was, over a year ago during a routine medical examination, there was a minor irregularity which I needed to have tests for and which I have now been assured is completely fine. The media have only just recently reported an exaggerated version of this and that is why people have been asking me if I am OK. So this is where the story has come from. The media reports have, as usual, completely distorted the story. I'm happy to say that I feel great and I have passed my most recent medical with flying colours."

He added, "I have secretly been enjoying all the sympathy I've been getting!"

Sir Macca should be feeling good. He's recently left behind all the mess that surrounded his marriage to Cruella DeMills, and his latest album, 'Memory Almost Full' has been nominated for a Grammy.
