Paul McCartney claims he speaks to his late Beatles bandmate George Harrison through a TREE he was gifted at his home

Sir Paul McCartney has claimed he's been talking to George Harrison, as he believes his late friend's spirit has inhabited a tree at his home.

The music icon, 78, made the candid confession while appearing on NPR earlier this month, and said his fellow Beatles member, who passed away in 2001 from lung cancer, had given him the fir tree as a gift.

He explained: '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.

'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''.

'There he is, growing strongly. And you know, that takes me back to the time when I hitchhiked with him! They're an ever-present presence, if that's a way to say.'

Paul went on: 'It's lovely. He gave it to me — I just planted it. But then, as the years go by, every time I look at it I go, ''That's the tree George gave me''.

'George has entered that tree, for me. I hope he's happy with that.'

Paul should have spoken to George more often while he was alive.

Maybe he could also ring up Ringo once in a while and say hello. I hear they used to be in a band together before Wings.

I heard the last conversation they had, George asked, “So, let’s get the band back together.”

If wants to talk to a tree, he could call Joe Biden. 😀 But then, he could act like a tree and leave.... 😀

You’re right. It’s like no one has ever lost someone and experienced this? Even a little?

Actually this is a BS story. He says hello to the tree. He doesn’t say the tree talks back.

Exactly. And he doesn't say George is the tree now. For crying out loud. The first line of the article is very deceptive.

I get your point. But with all due respect, I wouldn’t rank visiting a gravesite with walking past my late grandmother’s wedding gift and saying “hi Grams.”

Wonderful. Thank you. In return, here is George's son Dhani playing For You Blue

He needs to speak to John - time to give him a walrus.

Well, Paul allegedly stopped smoking pot in 2015 but I have to imagine, between the weed and living a life like Macca lived with constant attention/adornment, he's a few cards short of a full deck at 78.

That said...Biden is 78....who looks the worst?

‘George has entered that tree, for me. I hope he’s happy with that.’

Mmm, sounds great! - ants, termites, woodpeckers...

I'd pay to see this if it ever happened. Zack has been the best replacement for Moonie, and Dhani is very good. Julian Lennon seems ok but I don't know much about Sean or James' abilities.
