It’s well known that bands and musicians get up to strange things while out on the road together.

With Tim Burgess admitting that The Charlatans used to blow cocaine up each other in a chapter of his book called ‘Cocanus.’

We’ll let you use your imagination with that one.

And, well, Alice Cooper revealing that he throws knives at pictures of his pals before he goes out on stage.


Everyone appears to have their own idiosyncrasies, but it seems that The Beatles took theirs a step too far.

Chatting to GQ magazine, the legend that is Paul McCartney revealed he used to masturbate with John Lennon and his friends.



Just let that image sink in for a while – or don’t!

Yes, according to the star, the two of them would have little gatherings with their friends where they’d all sit around in chairs and well masturbate.

Not only that, the group encouraged each other to shout out random names that came to their head while they were focusing on themselves.

Speaking to the publication, Paul tried to explain the strange occurrence (which happened more than once might we add), but just ended up making it sound even weirder by bringing up Winston Churchill.

He said: ‘What it was…’ this is where he should have stopped but the 76-year-old continued: ‘was over at John’s house, and it was just a group of us.

‘And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.’

As you do.

He then claimed that someone called out the name of the French actress Brigitte Bardot (poor girl) before they ‘thrashed a bit more.’

Paul went on to say: ‘I think John sort of said, “Winston Churchill!”‘ which, as you’d expect, apparently brought their session to a halt.

When asked if it happened again the singer quickly called it a one-off, before joking it was ‘maybe like a two-off.’

He said: ‘ it was just the kind of thing you didn’t think much of. It was just a group. Yeah, it’s quite raunchy when you think about it. There’s so many things like that from when you’re a kid that you look back on and you’re, ‘Did we do that?’ But it was good harmless fun.

‘It didn’t hurt anyone. Not even Brigitte Bardot.’
