Sir Paul McCartney will immerse himself in his work to get over the messy divorce business with former wife Heather Mills.

The Mirror reports that the former Beatle is planning a massive World tour to earn back the £24million he paid to his ex wife. A source said: “Paul’s made happy by his family and music. He sees this as a kind of celebration that the messy episode with Heather is over.”

The tour is rumoured to cover America, Australia, Canada and the UK, with dates for the autumn likely to be finalised next month.
