McCartney also spoke about the death of John Lennon who was murdered in New York City in 1980.

"John went first -- terrible way here in New York -- and obviously, it was a terrible shock. But as the years go by, you remember what was great about them," he notes. "That's one of the good things about life. You go on a holiday and it rains for five days, you remember the five days it didn't rain. You know, that's what I do."
