Overview
- The story appears in Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, an oral history edited by Ted Widmer that was published on November 4.
- Seiwell says a British journalist was granted backstage and tour-bus access after pledging to write a lifestyle feature, then left before the show and ran a negative review.

- Coverage notes the journalist is not identified, there is no contemporaneous documentation cited, and no public response from the McCartney family is reported.
- The episode is placed around 1972, shortly after the couple’s marijuana-possession arrest in Sweden, within the book’s broader chronicle of Wings’ early years.
