Macca Sings The Blues

Paul McCartney has reportedly written a song about his upcoming divorce battle with Heather Mills, apparently because he feels nobody has heard his side of it.

The McCartneys blamed "media intrusion" for their split in the summer of 2006, and appealed to the press to leave them alone, but both look to be making an effort to use TV and the press to get the public on their respective sides.

Heather’s 20-minute appearance on GMTV’s breakfast news last November, a BBC Radio Five interview two hours later and another slot on U.S. TV’s "Today" show were part of a tabloid-bashing media offensive that managed to stir up the red tops at a time when they appeared to have taken a break from writing about her.

She said that Sir Paul should "take responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage," and attacked his daughter Stella because "she’s done some evil, evil things."

She also claimed that certain sections of the press give her worse coverage than they give to "pedophiles and murderers."

As for the new song, "Paul has done a track about how he feels about Heather and what was going on with the paparazzi because no one has heard his side of it at all – so this will be the first time anyone hears a song relating to that subject," said jazz and electronica composer Nitin Sawhney, who’s collaborating on the track.

The so far untitled song is expected to be on Sawhney’s new London Undersound album, which is due for release later this year.

Mills and McCartney are due to appear in court in February to continue negotiations over their divorce settlement.
