Paul McCartney Slams 'Gay' Claims of John Lennon

Contributed By: McKay Created On: Monday, 15 September 2008 Hits: 92 Paul McCartney Sir Paul McCartney has slammed a new book in which author Philip Norman claims that John Lennon wanted a gay relationship with his Beatles bandmate. A new book about Lennon, who died in 1980, claims that the former Beatle wanted a gay relationship with McCartney. But in a new interview, McCartney has rubbished the claims, saying the pair only occasionally shared a bed on tour. "I don't think (the gay claims) are true. John never ever tried anything, I slept with him a million times," he told The Sun newspaper. "I've seen him on tour roaring drunk, out of his mind in the early days before he sobered up and went to rehab. Roaring drunk and it was always with a female, never once. "If you've got a little gay tendency and your roaring drunk I'd have caught him once." As previously reported, John Lennon: The Life, also claims that Lennon had sexual fantasies about his mother. Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow, has already criticised the book, which is written by respected biographer Philip Norman.
