Acclaimed music icon Sir Paul McCartney appears to still be in touch with his late fellow The Beatles member, George Harrison.
During a chat with NPR, the Hey Jude singer said that he talks to his deceased bandmate, George Harrison—who passed away in 2001 of lung cancer—through a tree.
“George was very into horticulture, a really good gardener. So he gave me a tree as a present: It’s a big fir tree, and it’s by my gate,” he said.
“As I was leaving my house this morning, I get out of the car, close the gate and look up at the tree and say, ‘Hi, George,'” the 78-year-old said.
“There he is, growing strongly … It’s lovely,” he said adding that whenever he looks at the tree, “I go, ‘That’s the tree George gave me.'”
“George has entered that tree for me. I hope he’s happy with that,” he added.
Regarding his other bandmate, John Lennon who was shot and killed in 1980, McCartney said: “I’m often thinking of him. I dream of him.”
“It’s family. We had arguments — but then, I’m reminded, so do families,” he added.
