Lew Bundles Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Sir Paul McCartney reportedly checked into a private hospital to have a heart operation.The Sun reports that the former Beatle had an angioplasty at a private clinic after complaining about health problems.An unnamed source told the paper that the musician had not been feeling well and tests indicated that he would need an operation to unclog arteries in the heart and improve blood circulationSir Paul's spokesperson has insisted that the operation was "routine" and that the Dance Tonight star had made a good recovery.A friend of the music legend told the Sun that he Sir Paul was in "very good shape" as he exercised and ate well. Sir Paul's divorce proceedings with Heather Mills are set continue in the new year with a five-day court hearing scheduled to take place soon.Both Sir Paul and Mills have engaged in public attacks on one another during the legal proceedings. Previously Heather Mills has complained about negative press coverage about a financial settlement which could see her get half of McCartney's music fortune. They are also still to agree on custody arrangements over their four-year-old daughter Beatrice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollies65 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 And not as effective as once thought according to reports earlier this year. I keep a close eye on this stuff after my dad died in 1999 from a massive heart attack. I'm in great shape for my age [49] 5' 10" and 160 lbs yet I have to take blood pressure medication and Lipitor.

julesberry Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 His heart has probably been affected by his lawyer tellng him how much cash he is likely to have to give peg leg in this settlement. Angioplasty and wallet-ectomy simulatneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Harlock Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm surprised nobody brought this up... but so much for being a vegetarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywine Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 George was reportedly a vegetarian too and he ended up with throat and brain cancer. Stay away from those veggie burgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
