McCartney Opens Up About Phone-hacking Fears
The Beatles legend is convinced U.K. tabloid journalists commissioned a private investigator to improperly access his phone voicemail messages, and has concurred to speak to police investigating the headline-grabbing scandal.
Sir Paul tells The Times he became wary in 2008 during his divorce from glamour model Heather Mills because “there would be stories about how I was going on holiday to the Bahamas or whatever and I would know I hadn’t told anyone”.
He adds, “The worst thing is that then you suspect everyone – your PA (personal assistant), who you thought was a great girl – ‘What if?’ At the time of the divorce, I realized there was quite a possibility of many people hacking me for various reasons.
“I used to speak on the phone and say, “If you’re taking this down, get a life.’ It is a pity not to be able to speak freely on a private call.”
And the pop superstar admits the privacy invasion has changed the way he communicates: “I tend not to state much on the phone now. If I leave a message, it’s benign. You edit yourself according to the new circumstances of the new world. I think it would be quite good to get some sort of laws (sic).”
