'I wouldn't be playing music if it wasn't for Paul McCartney because I learned how to play guitar with Beatles songbooks and playing along to Beatles records,' Dave admitted.

He added: 'But I also would not be walking right now if it was not for Paul McCartney. He knows some good f**king doctors.'

Speaking to The Guardian after the incident, Dave revealed that Dancing On The Ceiling singer Lionel Ritchie sent him a muffin basket containing '6000 muffins.'

'Just after my leg surgery. I was staying at the Grosvenor hotel in London and one afternoon my wife comes in and says: 'You got the biggest muffin basket I've seen in my entire life!' And there's this assortment of muffins two meters high,'he said.

'There must have been 6,000 f**king muffins. The card said: 'Sorry to hear about the leg, missing you at Glastonbury, get well soon, PTO.' I thought: 'Who the fuck is PTO? Is that a booking agent?
