Paul McCartney 'Didn't Know What to Do' with Himself Post-Beatles
"I didn't know what to do with myself, and trying something new was really risky," said the legendary singer. Paul McCartney is opening up about life after The Beatles.
The 80-year-old icon was a member of the 7-time Grammy-winning group with John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr until it disbanded in 1970. McCartney then ventured out into a successful solo career.
On his website, the "Coming Up" singer answered a question that a fan asked via Twitter on the biggest risk he's taken in his decades-long career.
"The main question I had was whether to keep going after The Beatles," he wrote in the post published on Tuesday, "because it was a hard act — some might say, an impossible act — to follow."
Praising the group's talent, McCartney added, "The ingredients in the Beatles were so unique. You had John right there, who could have made any group brilliant. Then you had George's talent, and Ringo's, and then me."
McCartney confessed that once the members went their separate ways, "I didn't know what to do with myself, and trying something new was really risky."
