Paul McCartney : quand il se souvient de son ami George

Nous vous livrons ci-après un court extrait d’une interview à paraître dans la revue américaine « TV Guide », dans laquelle Paul parle de son ami George.

TVG: There’s a great bit when you sing George Harrison’s « Something » on a ukulele that he gave you for Christmas five years ago. Do you ever regret not having written a song with him?

Paul: We were both thinking we’d get around to it. It would have been nice. But I’m not one of regrets. It was good just to have time with George. Heather and I were just remembering when he and his wife Olivia took us from L.A/ to Las Vegas to see the Cirque du Soleil show. And he obviously must have been ill, because it wasn’t that long ago. But he seemed great. We all thought he was healthy. And it was just after that that he got a bad diagnosis. He was just going in for some tests [shakes his head]. So we went to see Cirque du Soleil that night. And it was very happy. We had some lovely moments, that being one of the top ones. And when he got ill, we had some lovely moments, too. So I just take what I can get.
