London
(ANI):
Late
John
Lennon"s
wife
Yoko
Ono
has
credited
Sir
Paul
McCartney
with
saving
her
marriage
to
the
Beatles
legend
by
stepping
in
to
reunite
the
separated
couple.
Lennon
and
Ono,
who
married
in
1969,
went
their
separate
ways
in
1973
and
had
been
apart
for
18
months
when
McCartney
took
it
upon
himself
to
intervene.
Marking
Lennon's
70th
birthday,
Ono
has
revealed
it
was
her
husband's
songwriting
partner
who
brought
them
back
together
again.
"Paul
told
me
he
was
going
to
see
John
in
L.A.
He
asked
what
it
would
take
for
me
to
go
back
to
John,
and
I
said,
''Well,
maybe
if
he
courted
me," the
Daily
Express
quoted
Ono
as
saying.
"I
want
the
world
to
know
that
it
was
a
very
touching
thing
that
he
did
for
John.
He'd
heard
the
rumours
that
John
was
in
a
bad
way,
in
a
rough
situation,
and
he
was
genuinely
concerned
about
his
old
partner...
It
was
so
sweet
that
he
wanted
to
save
John.
Sure,
they
were
two
macho,
very
talented
guys
who
had
strong
opinions,
arguments,
like
most
brothers."
“But
when
it
came
to
the
crux
of
the
matter,
when
Paul
thought
John
was
in
dire
straights,
he
helped...
John
often
said
he
didn't
understand
why
Paul
did
this
for
us,
but
he
did.
John
told
me
later
he'd
said,
'You
want
to
know
how
to
get
Yoko
back?'...
The
fact
that
John
immediately
tried
to
court
me,
and
came
back
to
New
York,
had
some
meaning,"
Ono
added.
