Sir Paul McCartney is one of the people in the U.K. whose privacy was violated in a recent phone hacking scandal – and he’s none too happy about it.
While being interviewed at the biyearly Television Critics Association via satellite for his upcoming Showtime special The Love We Make: Paul McCartney and the Concert for New York City Thursday, the music icon admitted he plans to speak with law enforcement at the end of his current tour.
“I’m going to talk to the police because apparently I have been hacked,” McCartney confirmed. “I don’t actually know much about it, but they won’t tell anyone except the person themselves. So, I will be talking to them about that.”
McCartney’s ex-wife, Heather Mills recently claimed that a senior Mirror journalist admitted to hacking voicemails that McCartney had left for Mills.
It’s not like most of his life hasn’t been lived in a virtual fishbowl, but the former Beatles member admits that the latest revelation is unnerving.
“I don’t think it’s great,” he stresses. “I do think it is a horrendous violation of privacy and I do think it’s been going on a long time and I do think that more people than we know knew about it. But, I think I should just listen and hear what the facts are before I comment.”
