From i ️ Radio

In 1969, Paul McCartney publicly denied rumors that he was dead.

In 1976, Paul McCartney had his fifth number one album after The Beatles  when Wings’s Wings at the Speed of Sound topped the chart.

Also in 1976, Paul and Linda McCartney (yes, Paul & Linda) spent the evening with John Lennon at his New York apartment and watched Saturday Night Live. During the show, SNL producer Lorne Michaels made an offer asking The Beatles  to come to the studio and play three songs live. The pair considered taking a cab to the studio but decided they were too tired. It was the final time they were together.
