His aunt Mimi, who raised him mainly, was quite a strong woman and I think he liked that. "And having known John so long personally, I knew what he liked in a woman. "At the time it was very difficult because we knew John was infatuated with Yoko," begins McCartney. Grosser asks McCartney about how he felt about this, and he's diplomatic but honest. Watching Get Back, Yoko's presence and proximity in the Let It Be sessions is undeniably close at points she's literally sitting in with the band as they play and record. But later I realised that John had this new relationship with Yoko and he had to clear the decks in order to give her full time attention." I think we wondered if it would get together again and when it didn't, it left us all, in one way, without a job. You can imagine when someone walks in and says, 'The factory is closing'. "And the first question in our minds was, well is it gonna last? Or is just something very John-ish where he says a big dramatic statement and then you'd go off and a couple of weeks later and he'd go, 'Oh, maybe we should get together again.' "We were very shocked," McCartney reveals. But the perception was that it might not be permanent. The legend also tells Gross he was "gobsmacked" when Lennon made his announcement. Paul McCartney will return to the road this year, announcing his 13-show Got Back tour, which will launch this spring.
