Sir Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono are both said to be livid after a book they both participated in makes claims that John Lennon longed to be in a relationship with McCartney.
Both Ono and McCartney agreed to be interviewed for the book John Lennon: The Life, which is due in stores later this year. After reading an early draft, Ono has retracted her endorsement, and McCartney is said to be distancing himself from the project, according to Reuters.
"Both Sir Paul and Yoko are extremely angry and upset," a source told the news agency.
In addition to rumors that Lennon was romantically interested in his bandmate, the book alleges Lennon fantasized about sleeping with his mother.
This isn't the first time a book about the legendary Beatle has alleged that he slept with men. A 1988 bio The Lives of John Lennon claimed he had an affair with Beatles manager Brian Epstein, among other men. (The Advocate)
