Paul McCartney "broke down" over a John Lennon song on Desert Island Discs in 1982.
Having become disillusioned, The Beatles split up in 1970, but the members eventually rebuilt their bridges and became friends once again. Paul and John were the oldest friends in the band, having grown up together in Liverpool in the 1950s.
So when Lennon was murdered in 1980, McCartney was utterly crushed. The former Fab Four star remembered his best friend fondly two years after Lennon's death in 1982 when he appeared on Desert Island Discs.
