LONDON - Sir Paul McCartney and wife Heather Mills, married since June 2002, have issued a joint statement announcing that they are separating. No specific reasons were given. Fans of McCartney and the Beatles are publicly accusing Yoko Ono for the break-up, and McCartney has done little to dispel the accusations. He told talk show host Jay Leno Friday night that "yes, there's been a fair amount of friction that she [Yoko Ono] is responsible for." Leno pressed McCartney for specifics, and the ex-Beatle explained: "I can't think of anything specific that she's done but the mere fact that a person like that exists is enough to cause friction, divisiveness, don't you think?"
When Yoko Ono was told that McCartney blamed her for his marriage's break-up, she screamed the word "why" at the top of her lungs for five minutes.
