Divorce is pure hell but I'm lucky, says McCartney
SIR Paul McCartney has described his divorce as like "going through hell".
The 65-year-old ex-Beatle insisted he would keep his dignity by not speaking about the break-up, but admitted: "A divorce is a very painful thing."
He told Radio Times: "As Winston Churchill once said, 'If you're going through hell, keep going!' The solution is to remain dignified. If I don't keep a silence about it, I lose this idea of being dignified.
"But I've a wonderful baby. She's a great joy to me, as are my elder children, so I'm a lucky man."
Sir Paul was in court last week to hammer out a settlement with Heather Mills, 39, the mother of his three-year-old daughter Beatrice. They will reportedly sign a 50 million deal by Christmas.
