Paul McCartney 'saw God' after taking drugs during Beatles heyday

Singer-songwriter speaks of spiritual beliefs, drug-taking, and helping out Stormzy

He was the Beatle who, supposedly, had less of an appetite for mind-altering drugs than his bandmates, but Paul McCartney has told how the ingestion of one substance during their heyday led to him seeing “God”.

Speaking candidly about his spiritual beliefs, McCartney said in an interview that he believed there was “something higher” – linking it to an experience of taking Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in the company of others.
