Paul McCartney even spoke about his friendship with Michael Jackson and how they later drifted apart.
Paul said he first met Michael in the early ’80s, after the star called asking if he wanted to make some hit songs together.
“You know, he came to my house and we got to know the family and stuff,” Paul told Dave. “We had a really good time. We made a couple of records together [“Say Say Say” and “The Girl is Mine”], did a video and were very good friends.”
But Paul admitted their friendship was never quite the same after Michael bought the Beatles music catalog and decided not to sell it to Paul.
“He kept saying, ‘That’s just business, Paul, you know,’ so I went, ‘Yeah, it is,’ and waited for a reply. But we never kind of got to it and I thought, ‘Mmmmm,’ so we kind of drifted apart. It was no big bust-up. We kind of drifted apart after that. But he was a lovely man, massively talented and we miss him.”
