Sir Paul McCartney claims to have spoken to the late George Harrison through a BOOM

Sir Paul McCartney claimed he spoke to George Harrison because he believed his ghost of his deceased friend lived in a tree near his home.

The music icon, 78, made the open confession while appearing on NPR earlier this month, saying his fellow member of the Beatles, who died of lung cancer in 2001, gave him the cypress.

He explained: ‘George was very busy gardening, a very good gardener, so he gave me a tree as a gift. It’s a big cypress tree and at my gate.

When I left my house this morning, I got out of the car, closed the gate and looked up at the tree and said, ‘Hello, George.’

“There is he who grows strong. And you know, it takes me back to the time I rode with him! They are always present, if that is a way of saying. ‘

Paul continues: ‘It’s delicious. He gave it to me – I just planted it. But then, as the years go by, I go every time I look at it, ” This is the tree George gave me. ”

George came to me in that tree. I hope he is happy with it. ‘

During their time together, The Beatles – which also includes John Lennon and Ringo Starr – became one of the most influential orchestras of all time with their releases making them the best-selling music of all time.

Sir Paul released his new album McCartney III earlier this month, after writing and recording it earlier this year.

And in a BBC interview with actor Idris Elba, which aired last Saturday night, the crooner admitted that he ‘did not realize’ what he was creating when he did it.

He said: ‘[In] everyone cleaned their closets and did all the things they wanted to get to. So [making an album] was my equivalent.

“I did not try to make an album. When I suddenly had these ten songs, I thought: What am I going to do with this? It was only the ten because I did not know I was making an album. ‘

During the lock-up, Paul stayed with his daughter Mary and her children in the countryside.

From the experience, he says: ‘I was really happy. I was locked up with my daughter Mary and her family, and then I was able to go to work in the studio, it was a very safe place. We were far away, we were always very careful.

‘I was on holiday at the beginning of the year and then the closure had a hit, and then I came back and I was locked in the country.

‘[It] was good because it meant I was hanging out with four of my grandchildren so suddenly.

“I could go into the studio. The government has said that you can only go to work if you cannot work from home. So I do not have a home studio, my home studio is 20 minutes away.

‘Then I just started thinking, what about that song I had a few months ago, which I never finished. So we pulled it out and I would work on it … ‘
