Paul McCartney took a trip down memory lane as he reflected on his late first wife, Linda, and her passion for protecting animals.
Earlier this week, the music icon stopped by the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast and shared some intimate details about his marriage to the former American photographer and musician. Though reliving those moments brought a smile to his face, McCartney soon became emotional. Linda died in April 1998 at the age of 56 from breast cancer that metastasized to her liver.
“She’s like a crazy vegetarian,” McCartney said of Linda. “So we had that in common and Linda was very outspoken on that subject. To the point where if it hadn’t been her, it would have been embarrassing.”

“She had this kind of Disney-esque view of animals,” McCartney added. “So if we saw, like a frog in a garden or something, she’d pick it up.”
At this point in the interview, McCartney was visibly and audibly becoming emotional. His voice began to tremble as he continued the story. “The way she would hold it. It wouldn’t hurt [the frog].” McCartney stopped and began fanning his eyes as they began to water. “She would say, ‘Its mommy loved it’…even if it’s a frog.” She’d treat and talk to the creatures like they were Disney animals.
Poehler offered him some tissues and praised their relationship. She noted that she loved learning about him and Linda in his 2026 documentary, Paul McCartney: Man on the Run. She gushed over how well they worked together and who they were as a couple, calling it a “testament to just what respectful, beautiful mutual love looks like.”
McCartney and Linda wed in March 1969. The two remained married for nearly 30 years, until Linda’s untimely death in 1998. McCartney has since remarried twice — he was previously married to Heather Mills (2002–2008). His current wife is American businesswoman Nancy Shevell, whom he wed in 2011.
