Book Alleges Paul and Linda McCartney Mailed Baby’s Feces to Journalist After Phony Wings Review

The story comes from drummer Denny Seiwell in an oral history of Wings released this week.

Overview

  • Seiwell recounts that a British journalist promised a behind-the-scenes feature, skipped the show, then published a negative concert review.
  • He says Paul and Linda took a hotel soap dish, placed infant Stella’s feces in it, wrapped it, and mailed it to the writer.
  • People reports the visit occurred in the early 1970s and notes it followed the couple’s reported 1972 backstage marijuana arrest in Sweden.
  • The anecdote appears in Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, edited by Ted Widmer and built from more than 40 hours of new and archival interviews.
  • Coverage attributes the claim to Seiwell’s recollection in the book, with no independent confirmation or public response noted so far.
