In 1984, Paul McCartney released his fifth solo album, Give My Regards to Broad Street, the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Fourteen years on from the break-up of The Beatles, the album saw McCartney revisit some of his best-loved work with John Lennon, with reinterpretations of classic songs such as Yesterday (from Help!), Eleanor Rigby (from Revolver) and The Long And Winding Road (from Let It Be). Naturally, while promoting the album with interviews with the world's media, McCartney was often asked about his friendship with Lennon, and, four years on from Lennon's murder, he shared memories of his late friend which shed light on their relationship as never before.
