McCartney spotted alone

A fan spotted Paul McCartney walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of August 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Paul back on the market?

A rep for Paul McCartney was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer - known for having been romantically involved with Linda McCartney - was splitting hit the internet Sunday (August 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Paul’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (McCartney spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
