McCartney: I Don't Read Divorce Coverage

(AP)  Paul McCartney avoids reading media coverage of his difficult divorce because he does not want to see the details of his private life on front pages, he said in an interview published Saturday.

McCartney and his second wife, Heather Mills McCartney, are in the middle of divorce proceedings. The former Beatle told the Guardian's Weekend magazine that the situation has brought him closer to his grown children from his marriage to Linda McCartney.

"I'm going through great struggles, but I'm feeling pretty good," McCartney was quoted as saying. "I have a lot of good support, particularly from my family. In difficult moments like this, it's when a loving family shines through."

McCartney said it is difficult to see his private life exposed.

"There's only one real answer to the massive press coverage: don't look," he said. "So I don't read it."

It is estimated that the divorce will cost McCartney $200 million, reducing his fortune to $1.4 billion, according to The Sunday Times' annual Rich List.

"There is a tunnel and there is a light and I will get there. In the meantime I really enjoy my work and my family. I see people worse off than me, so I can put it in perspective," McCartney said.

Maybe Heather will go back to the porn business from which she came??

When there's a divorce no one is a winner regardless to the amount of money involved. The children are the loosers alway around, the child loose Dad and Mom. Usually Mom tells nasty things about Dad and wants the children to take her side and Dad is always angry at Mom.
I am a child of divorce and know first hand how divorce can scar a child. Dad tried to buy my love with large amounts of money and Mom struggled worked two jobs and cared for me, she was a good Mom who never to this day has ever said a nasty thing about my father. She will remind me to send him a Father's Day gift,Birthday gift and ect. I never understood why my Dad was such a butthead. I feel sorry for Paul and Heather's daughter, she will be torn between love and loyalty to both parents I know I am. Money is not the key to every problem, why Heather thinks she is entitled to so much of Paul's hard earned money is beyond me. She can get out and work like other women if she wants more money than she is entitled to.

The end of a relationship is always so sad, regardless of the acrimony that may have caused it and it affects all parties, no matter how much money is involved.
Their baby girl is the one who is going to suffer no matter how much money Ms. Mills gets or whoever gets custody.
After having had such a good relationship with his first wife, he was unprepared for anything less.
Hope he finds happiness.

[As far as I am concerned, the only thing he has done wrong is not to listen to his kids when they warned him that she was a gold-digger. ]

no pre-nup was his second mistake ... getting remarried was his first.

Yeah you're right. But you know us guys, we see a woman differently at first because usually of only one thing. Then the fog clears and we turly see what we have gotten ourselves into.

The man sounds like he has a level perspective on the situation. I think he's a class act!
