Heather bought a house next to Paul - July 24, 2020
Heather Mills McCartney has bought a house just 15 minutes away from ex-husband Sir Paul McCartney. Land Registry documents show the former model bought the five-bedroom converted barn for £550,000 on May 26 this year, just nine days after her split from the Beatles legend was revealed. Heather, 38, will live there with the couple’s two-year-old daughter Beatrice, according to the Mail On Sunday newspaper. It was previously thought mother and daughter would stay in a lodge in the grounds of Paul’s 16 acre East Sussex estate.
Both Heather and Paul have visited the barn conversion, separately, several times in the last few weeks. A neighbour said: "I am a huge Beatles fan so it was quite surreal to see Paul McCartney and Heather coming and going." Heather has also registered the house as the HQ of three new companies she has set up since the split. She is currently residing in her £2 million seafront house in Hove which was bought in her name in 2001, two years after she began her six year relationship with Paul.
Paul hired Prince Charles’ divorce lawyer - July 17, 2020
Sir Paul McCartney has hired Prince Charles’ divorce lawyer in his legal battle with estranged wife Heather Mills. The former Beatle - who separated from the animal rights activist in May this year - has reportedly appointed Fiona Shackleton to handle his divorce settlement. The 50-year-old lawyer - who represented the heir to the British throne in his divorce from the late Princess Diana - is renowned for her professional attitude and impressive case record.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Paul wanted the best and believes in Fiona he has got it. "She is hugely respected in legal circles and incredibly tough. This shows Paul is fully prepared if this divorce turns into a bitter battle and is determined to see it through." Following the collapse of the couple’s four-year marriage, it has been suggested that Heather, because she never signed a prenuptial agreement, could walk away with as much as £200 million of Paul’s fortune. At the lowest since first wife Linda died - June 9, 2020
Sir Paul McCartney is the lowest he has been since first wife Linda died, a close friend has claimed. The Beatles legend was rocked earlier this week after discovering his estranged wife Heather Mills once posed naked for a German sex book.
Mark Featherstone-Witty - who is the musician’s business partner and the chief executive of Paul’s college, the Liverpool Performing Arts School - claims he has not seen his friend so depressed since Linda died from cancer in 1998. He said: "Paul is worn out with the whole situation. He is going through a bad patch but despite everything he is trying to live a normal life." Sir Paul was spotted looking "extremely tired" and dejected as he visited the institute. Despite his heartbreak, the musician put on a brave face and spent four hours talking to final year students.

At the age of 15 he met John Lennon. Together with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they formed the most successful group in the history of music--the Beatles.
Since the Beatles, Paul has released 21 albums and staged three world tours, while evolving into classical composition, film-making and actively campaigning for ecology and animal rights After the Beatles split up in 1970, Paul embarked on a solo career before forming the group Wings with his wife, American Linda McCartney, which had some success but never to the scale of the Beatles, That has never yet again been seen, (even now)
His solo period during the eighties culminated with charity performances at Live Aid and for The Prince of Wales Trust, leading him to get back on the road again. Since 1990, Paul McCartney has traveled over 800,000 miles in concert through 22 countries, setting, along the way, the Guinness world record for the largest stadium crowd in the history of rock and roll--184,000 in Rio de Janeiro. During the same time, he also established the "MTV Unplugged" vogue and then performed his acoustic show in clubs and pubs around Europe.
In 1991, Paul staged the performance of his first classical work, "The Liverpool Oratorio", which has since been performed in more than 50 cities worldwide. In 1995--the 30th anniversary of his most acclaimed song, "Yesterday"-- Paul’s second classical work, "A Leaf," was performed at a benefit concert he organized for the Royal College of Music at St. James Palace. Paul composed a major orchestral work, commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of EMI Records.
In recognition of his work for all music, Paul was recently appointed Fellow of the Royal College of Music, the U.K.’s highest musical honour. Aside from his music, Paul McCartney campaigns for Greenpeace, Friends of The Earth and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He and his wife Linda are the new patrons of the British Vegetarian Society. He is also the chief patron of The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, a new school similar to New York’s High School of the Performing Arts, which will open in his hometown in 1996. Paul has also developed his interest in film-making. His first production, "Daumier’s Law," won the top prize in 1992 at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.
His latest short feature, "Grateful Dead, A Photofilm," will be entered in the London Film Festival at the invitation of the British Film Institute. He was also knighted by the Queen and made a ’Sir’ Paul and Linda had three children between them as well as Linda daughter from a previous marriage, which Paul adopted as his own. Linda died of breast cancer in 1998, she was only 56.
All of their children are a success in their own right Stella McCartney is head designer at Gucci after a very successful stint as head designer for Chloe and daughter Mary is a successful photographer just as her mother Linda was before her.
Three years after the death of his first wife Paul met Heather Mills at a charity event where Mills was raising financial assistance for the Heather Mills Trust, a foundation providing artificial limbs to war victims across the globe. Mills, a former swimsuit model, lost her left leg below the knee in 1993 after being hit by a police motorcyclist.
