Sir Paul McCartney claims to have spoken to the late George Harrison through a TREE

Sir Paul McCartney claimed to have spoken to George Harrison because he believed that the spirit of his late friend had lived in a tree at his home.

The 78-year-old music icon made his sincere confession while appearing on NPR earlier this month and said that his fellow Beatles member, who died in 2001 of lung cancer, gave him the Christmas tree as a gift.

He explained: “George was very interested in horticulture, a really good gardener, so he gave me a tree as a gift. It’s a big Christmas tree and it’s by my gate.

“As I was leaving home in the morning, I got out of the car, closed the gate, and looked up at the tree and said, ‘Hello, George.’

“Here he is, growing strong.” And you know, that takes me back to the time when I was hitchhiking with him! I am an ever-present presence, if that is a way of saying it.

Paul continued: “It’s wonderful. He gave it to me – I just planted it. But then, as the years go by, every time I look at him, I say, “This is the tree George gave me.”

George went into that tree for me. I hope he’s happy with that.

During their time together, The Beatles – which also included John Lennon and Ringo Starr – became one of the most influential bands of all time, with their releases, making them the best-selling musical act of all time. .

Sir Paul released his new album McCartney III earlier this month, after writing and recording it during the lockdown earlier this year.

And in a BBC chat with actor Idris Elba, broadcast on Saturday night, the crooner admitted that he “didn’t realize” what he was creating when he did it.

He said: ‘[In] closing everyone cleaned their closets and did all the things they had intended to do. So [making an album] it was my equivalent.

– I wasn’t trying to make an album. So all of a sudden I had these 10 songs, I thought: What am I going to do with these? There were only 10 because I didn’t know I was making an album. ‘

During the blockade, Paul remained in the countryside with his daughter Mary and her children.

From experience, he continued: “I was really lucky. I was locked up with my daughter Mary and her family and then I was able to go to the studio to work, it was a very safe place. We were distanced, we were always very careful.

“I was on vacation at the beginning of the year and then I hit the blockade, a covid blow, so I went back and was imprisoned in the country.

‘[It] it was good because it meant staying with four of my kids so suddenly it was great.

‘I was able to go to the studio. The government has said that you can only go to work if you cannot work from home. So I don’t have a home studio, my home studio is 20 minutes away.

“So I started thinking, how about the song I had a few months ago that I never finished? So I took this out and I would work on it …
