Paul McCartney said he saw God during psychedelic trip

LONDON — Former Beatle Paul McCartney said he was “humbled” when he saw God during a psychedelic trip.

In an interview with a British newspaper, the 76-year-old star said that “it was huge. A massive wall that I couldn’t see the top of, and I was at the bottom. And anybody else would say it’s just the drug, the hallucination, but we felt we had seen a higher thing.”

The Beatles’ music was heavily influenced by psychedelic drugs in the band’s final years.

McCartney also spoke of allowing himself to believe that his lost loved ones, including his late wife Linda, are “looking down” on him.

The singer is promoting a new album and a tour. He remains one of music’s most popular concert acts.
