'We were gypsies, a bunch of nutters on the road. God, what were we on?': Paul McCartney's most moving interview ever about life with Linda

By Tom Doyle

After the wreckage of The Beatles, he formed Wings... and conquered America all over again. As he releases a new DVD of the tour, the musician gives this very personal insight into a surreal – and occasionally fractious – family affair

The photograph above was taken during the summer of 1976 and perfectly illustrates how being a member of the McCartney family must have been, in some ways, completely normal, and at the same time, utterly surreal.

In it, Linda and four-year-old Stella are settling down to dinner in a lounge, the former perched on a sofa while balancing a tray on her lap.

Across from them, Paul sits playing a bass guitar as Mary, only six, leans in to listen. It appears to be a fairly typical cosy, slightly boho picture. Except for the fact that it finds the McCartneys aboard their private jet, high in the skies above America.

‘That became normal for us,’ Paul tells me. ‘In our minds, we were giving the kids a normal upbringing. While at the same time we knew it was not.’

McCartney is on candid form today as he talks for the first time, and often movingly, about the momentous tour with Linda and their children that saved him from his deep post-Beatles depression.

He recalls the effect vicious criticism aimed at Linda, when she joined Wings, had on their family life, laughs as he shares vivid memories of wild adventures on the road with their young children as the McCartneys juggled family life with the chaos of touring the biggest stadiums in the world with a group of hedonistic musicians.
