More Beatle talk. Paul McCartney has dismissed media claims that he recently had heart surgery. The musician says that the reports, which appeared over the Christmas period were "completely distorted" and "exaggerated".
Explaining that there had in fact been concerns about his heart, but over a year ago, he assured fans: "There was a minor irregularity which I needed to have tests for and which I have now been assured is completely fine. I would like to thank all of you and my friends and relatives for your concern and I'm very happy to put your minds at rest".
