Paul McCartney remembers struggling to grieve for John Lennon before writing 'Here Today'
Paul McCartney has recalled how he struggled to publicly grieve for John Lennon after receiving the news that his bandmate in The Beatles had died.
The musician told SiriusXM’s The Beatles Channel how he saw people on the television paying tribute to Lennon on the same day he was shot.
"I can’t just go on TV and say what John meant to me. It was just too deep. It’s just too much. I couldn’t put it into words,” McCartney said. Afterwards, the singer wrote ‘Here Today’, from his 1982 album Tug of War, in memory of Lennon.
