Paul McCartney's Heart-Wrenching Quotes about Late Wife Linda — He Cried for a Year after Her ...

Paul McCartney has talked about losing his wife Linda, who was a musician, photographer and animal rights activist.

Linda McCartney died after a battle with breast cancer on April 17, 1998. She was 56 years old.

Speaking ahead of a retrospective exhibition of the photographer’s work in Glasgow, McCartney told the BBC: “Both my mum and Linda died of breast cancer. We had no idea what my mum had died of because no-one talked about it. She just died.”

He continued: “The worse thing about that was everyone was very stoic, everyone kept a stiff upper lip and then one evening you’d hear my dad crying in the next room. It was tragic because we’d never heard him cry. It was a quiet private kind of grief.”

Of his reaction to Linda’s death, the Beatles star said he “cried for about a year, on and off.” “You expect to see them walk in, this person you love, because you are so used to them,” he said. “I cried a lot. It was almost embarrassing except it seemed the only thing to do.”
