"Paul is going on a five-month world tour at the end of next year
to get over Heather.
But it is also rather a convenient way of recouping the losses
he will accrue in the divorce courts", said a friend last night.
As part of the divorce arrangement McCartney is also hoping to
take the couple's baby Beatrice on tour with him.
Heather is said to be angered by his decision to tour,
not least because the tour will ostensibly be used to promote his
new album of chamber music Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart)(???)
which he has dedicated to his late wife Linda.
The tour will set off during the last five months of 2007.
Sir Paul and his band will head to the States,
Japan and Australia and will also do some dates in Europe.
