Sir Paul McCartney paid an emotional tribute to his late first wife Linda — and took a thinly-veiled swipe at his recent ex-wife Heather Mills for being a publicity-seeker at the same time.
The former Beatle, 65, spoke of his love for photographer Linda — who died of breast cancer in 1998 — ahead of a London exhibition of her work, saying: “She didn’t go on TV and say, ‘This is who I am – hello’ and try to ingratiate herself. Her priorities were private rather than public.
“She was a very natural girl, naturally blonde,” he added.
“She was so funny, smart and talented.
“Probably the most haunting photograph in this collection is the self-portrait she took in 1997.
“She’d had chemo and her hair was growing back – it was a very chic look.
“She didn’t know she was dying. She was such a strong, forward-thinking lady.
“She was fighting right up to the end.”
actually, he should have done this sooner– but I bet sleazeball had a fit if he even t hought about it. Now, he can do it as much as he wants to do so.

Nothing wrong with looking back on his life with Linda, and praising the things he enjoyed about her.
