Paul McCartney 'Furious' With Gay Lennon Claims.Sir Paul McCartney is said to be furious after a new book he contributed to accuses John Lennon of wanting a gay relationship with his fellow Beatle.McCartney and Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, 75, both reportedly agreed to be interviewed for author Philip Norman's new biography, John Lennon: The Life.But after learning the book claims Lennon lusted over McCartney and fantasised about his mother, the pair are allegedly distancing themselves from the project, with Ono withdrawing her endorsement.A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "Both Sir Paul and Yoko are extremely angry and upset."Meanwhile in other news Paul McCartney has insisted his historic concert in Israel will go ahead - despite calls for him to cancel.The Beatles legend is due to play a show in Tel Aviv later this month - 43 years after a Fab Four concert in the country was scrapped by officials amid fears it could corrupt youngsters.And the Hey Jude hitmaker is adamant his solo show will go ahead after protesters urged him to cancel it in protest over Israel's occupation of the West Bank.McCartney tells Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth: "I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel."
And, asked how he felt when the Beatles were barred from playing in the country at the height of their fame in 1965, he says, "(It was) a bit insulting. The Beatles had a pretty positive influence on the world and only regimes that wanted to control their peoples were afraid of us.
"We mostly laughed at the Israeli government decision."
The Tel Aviv show is scheduled to take place on 25 September (08).
