Paul McCartney - Flaming Piebutton.gif (123 bytes) On April 17th, Paul McCartney's wife and member of Wings, Linda McCartney, died Friday of breast cancer at the age of 56. Reports originally stated that Linda McCartney had passed away while on vacation with her family in Santa Barbara, California - later reports confirmed she had died in Arizona and was cremated with a private ceremony. Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995 and was undergoing treatment. By March of this year, the cancer had spread to the liver. A statement released after Linda's death said: "The blessing was that the end came quickly and she didn't suffer." The statement also said the best donation in Linda's memory would be to get involved with charities related to cancer research or animal welfare, "or... best of all... go veggie." Linda McCartney was a strong vegetarian diet and animal rights advocate. Paul and Linda had been married since 1969 and have 3 children together (and one additional child from Linda's previous marriage).
