Mccartney Pays Tribute To Late Wife At Coachella

Sir Paul McCartney used his appearance at California's Coachella music festival on Friday (17Apr09) to pay tribute to his late wife LINDA - who died 11 years ago to the day.


The Beatles legend took to the stage to headline the first night of the legendary music event in Indio, California, which runs until Sunday (19Apr09).


Friday's date had extra significance to the star as his beloved first wife lost her battle with cancer on 17 April 1998.


And MCCartney used the opportunity to pay tribute to his late partner, dedicating his song Foxy Lady to her memory and telling the crowd, "It's an emotional day for me. That's good, that's OK. Lot of heart, lot of emotion."
