It was during the big phone hacking scandal back whenever, but I can't remember the source of that story, so I will not expect you to believe it.
I've heard the comparisons to both John and Linda.
I've noticed one big difference in how Paul handled Heather Mills break-up versus John Lennon break-up: What he said in the music. Memory Almost Full has an adoring and unambiguous love song in See Your Sunshine, which Paul publicly stated was about Heather. On the same album is Gratitude, a song that must be about Heather. The song acknowledges Heather's mistreatment of him ("I should stop loving you / Think what you put me through"), but is an intense expression of what she did give him during their relationship. I think John would have appreciated a song like that. I'm sure John sometimes thought that Paul would have been better off had John Lennon not come into his life. After all, when imagining their alternate, Beatleless lives John pictured himself a bum and Paul a doctor.
