Macca on the divorce

Paul McCartney has described his divorce from Heather Mills as going through hell, saying his daughter Beatrice and making music have helped him through it.

Paul McCartney has been talking about his high profile and rather acrimonious divorce from that Heather Mills. Likening the whole process to "going through hell", he has told the Radio Times that his daughter Beatrice and his recent music making have helped him get through it all.

Asked about the divorce, he told the magazine: "Going through a divorce is a very painful thing. As Winston Churchill once said, 'If you're going through hell, keep going!' The only solution is to remain dignified. If I don't keep a silence about it, I lose this idea of being dignified. But I've a wonderful baby. She's a great joy to me, as are my elder children, so I'm a lucky man".

On the role of his music in helping him through the ordeal, he continued: "Music is a great healer. Music is the therapy for me. In fact, going through difficulties has only concentrated my desire to make good music".
