The singer explained how he wrote the music that went on to become hit songs, and spoke about the rumours surrounding his relationship with John Lennon.
"A lot of the talk was that I was the villain and that John and I didn't really get on well, and I kind of bought into it," he said, adding that he thinks about Lennon "quite often".
"I dream about him. When you've had a relationship like that for so long, such a deep relationship... I love when people revisit you in your dreams. I often have band dreams. I have a lot of dreams about John."
