A deeply raw and emotional memory from Paul McCartney. In this December 2014 interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, Paul reflects on the horrifying morning when he learned John Lennon had been murdered.
Paul describes the shock as "horrific," saying he "just couldn't think that he was gone." He compares the event to the assassination of President Kennedy in terms of its historical impact. The most candid moment is his description of the killer: the phrase that kept running through his head was "jerk of all jerks." A powerful, human look at Paul's enduring grief.
