Paul McCartney visits doctor in alleged heart scare
Paul McCartney was taken to a London doctor after suffering a "heart scare" last week, several British newspapers have reported. McCartney, accompanied by his daughter Mary, visited a London clinic on Thursday night (August 10th).
An eyewitness who saw McCartney enter the doctor's office told Britain's Daily Mail that McCartney looked "dreadful." Another witness said that, "I didn't recognize him at first. He didn't look like Paul McCartney -- just an old man... His face looked very grey and drawn and his hair had patches of grey as well. He's obviously stopped using the dye. I couldn't believe how rough he looked."
A source at the doctor's office told The Daily Express that, "Paul came in with his daughter Mary and was complaining of not feeling well. He was seen straight away by a specialist who gave him a thorough examination. He was checked for his heart rate and blood pressure."
They added that, "He looked quite pale and was obviously feeling out of sorts, but after a thorough examination he was given the all-clear. He is obviously going through a tough time and he is not getting any younger." Macca recently filed for divorce from his wife of four years, activist Heather Mills. The couple has a two year-old daughter, Beatrice.
A spokesman for McCartney denied that the evening doctor's appointment was caused by a health scare, stating that, "Sir Paul had a routine, regular check-up. It was not to do with his heart and was something planned for some time."
Macca will release his latest live DVD, titled Paul McCartney: The Space Within Us, on October 31st. The concert documentary features nearly 30 songs from his 2005 U.S. tour, including such Beatles classics as "Penny Lane," "Yesterday," "Eleanor Rigby," "Magical Mystery Tour," and "Get Back," as well as solo favorites including "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Too Many People," "Let Me Roll It," and "Flaming Pie."
Also included on the disc is recent material from his 2005 Chaos And Creation In The Backyard album, including "Fine Line," "Jenny Wren," and "English Tea."
