When Linda McCartney first met Paul McCartney, his house was such a disaster that to call it a mess would be kind. According to Beatles associate Tony Bramwell, McCartney’s house had fallen into disarray after his breakup with longtime girlfriend Jane Asher. His relationship with Linda helped him reorganize his life and living situation.
Linda McCartney helped pull Paul McCartney together
After McCartney and Asher broke up, he lived in a house with a rotating group of women.
“There were several semi-clad girls walking about the house,” writer Barry Miles recalled in his book Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now. “‘It’s terrible,’ he said, gesturing. ‘The birds are always quarreling about something. There’s three living here at the moment.’ The jostling for position must have been something to see.”

In the late 1960s, the once-tight relationship between John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr became strained, and the four Beatles began working with other musicians. This was a surprising change for the band, who had previously only really worked with each other. Harrison, who had started to feel increasingly stifled by The Beatles, found this thrilling. According to those who knew the band, Harrison’s eagerness to work with other musicians drove The Beatles further apart.

George Harrison was the youngest member of The Beatles, but he was a talented enough guitar player that his age didn’t matter. John Lennon was slightly embarrassed by his younger bandmate at first, but he came to accept Harrison. Still, both Lennon and McCartney treated him as a younger brother. This began to wear on Harrison, who wondered if he wasn’t able to do anything besides play the guitar.
