Paul McCartney has said the deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison is still a “bitter pill to swallow” in a new interview.Speaking to The Times, McCartney reflected on the passing of Lennon and Harrison and the grief he still feels after the loss of both.McCartney explained: “I like the idea of not letting go of each other…You know, when you have somebody you love so much.

In many cases it’s a relative, and even though they go, you don’t want to let go — that’s what people say when somebody dies.

They’re in your memory, always in your heart. And, yes, that’s certainly true of me and the boys.”He said looking at photos of Lennon or Harrison was still “bittersweet”.“The sweet is ‘How lucky was I to have those men in my life’.

But the fact that they’re not here is bitter. I see photos of George and remember how we went hitchhiking, sitting by the road, buying ourselves creamed rice.
