Paul McCartney has revealed he turned to drink after the Beatles split and how close he came to giving up his entire musical career.

Recounting the emotional time in the late 1960s, the singer said: 'I was breaking from my lifelong friends, not knowing whether I was going to continue in music -dailymail.co.uk

'I took to the bevvies. I took to a wee dram. It was great at first, then suddenly I wasn't having a good time. It wasn't working. I wanted to get back to square one, so I ended up forming Wings.'

He was speaking as part of a wide-ranging interview on Radio 4's Mastertapes and answered questions from audience members on everything from his time in the iconic band to his more recent collaboration with Kanye West.

Explaining the preponderance of young songwriters in the world of music, the 73-year-old legend posited it was because twenty somethings are able to see the world in a fresh light.
