“They went up to Paul’s for New Year’s Eve in Liverpool,” the former Wings drummer Denny Seiwell explained to me about a flustered phone call he fielded from Paul McCartney on December 31, 1972. “Paul called me—I was in the States—and he said, ‘Jesus, Henry [McCullough, the Northern Irish Wings guitarist] and his wife, Sheila, had a big fight. They were out in the streets and everything. They were so drunk.’ I said, ‘He’s not my problem, man—sorry.’”
Seiwell chuckled as he reminisced about his somewhat turbulent time in McCartney’s post-Beatles group. On the other end of the telephone line I raised a curious eyebrow.
