Stella McCartney recalls mother Linda facing bullying

Linda got married to The Beatles singer Paul McCartney in 1969 an dstayed married to him until her death from breast cancer.

She joined her husband’s band Wings but the fans took some time to accept her role.

In the new documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Runher daughter Stella opens up about her mother’s struggle and she faced criticism.

The 54-year-old said “She wasn’t a cookie-cutter example of someone you put in a band. What they, and she especially, had to go through, like when they isolated her voice and ridiculed her? I mean, it breaks my heart.”

Stella said her mother’s resilience in such situation showed “her bravery and spirit. That side to her boosted a side that (Paul McCartney) had perhaps lost.”

Meanwhile, Paul himself remembered his late wife’s voice saying she had a “special sound”.

Linda was a photographer by profession and her not being a trained musician made her a target of critics.
