Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney never told Linda she was dying -- Paul McCartney knew his wife Linda had just days to live -- but he decided not to tell her that breast cancer had finally overwhelmed her. McCartney spent just one night apart from Linda in almost 30 years of marriage. "I knew a week or so before she died. I was the only one who knew. One of the doctors said she ought to be told but I didn't want to tell her because I didn't think she'd want to know."
