Yes, the song made famous by the Beatles, coincidently Paul Mccartney was 64 when divorce proceedings reared it's Love or Money between Mills and Mccartney. Who knew when the Beatles penned the Hit Song " When I'm 64", (will you still Love me)? certainly rings true, who knew a popular Beatles song back in the 1960's would be Art imitating Life in Paul Mccartneys reported $50 Million divorce settlement with ex wife Heather Mills. Certainly an expensive way to rid oneself of a Millstone around his neck, but compared to the Beatles 1.5 Billion dollars estimated wealth.

Mccartney got off relatively cheap compared to other celebrities foolish enough to think some women and men decades younger than yourself will marry you for love as you approach 64.

Perhaps Queen's Freddie Mercury said it best in his 1981 song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" with the wisest words ever sung.

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
"And take a long ride on my motor bike"
Until Im ready
Crazy little thing called love

You have to know Paul Mcartney was aware of this Tune. Guess Paul Mccartney didn't have a Motorbike, cause if he did he would be $50 million dollars in the Black.

Reported $50M settlement in Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce

Sir Paul Mccartney looks to have agreed a $50M dollar settlement to end his bitter divorce battle with his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Mills, 40, will reportedly receive the £25 million sum under a settlement from McCartney in an official ruling at London's High Court expected Monday.

Details of the settlement were revealed to the estranged couple's lawyers on Thursday. British tabloids had speculated that a settlement would be much higher.

Perhaps to pay for the settlement and an estimated $10 million in legal bills, the 65-year-old McCartney, 65, is said to be releasing the Beatles back catalogue to iTunes.

The rocky four year marriage had degenerated to public feuding over the course of the divorce proceedings, with Mills, 40, having sought a bigger stake of the rock n' roll legend's fortune, estimated at $1.5 billion.

The couple, who married in June 2002, have a four-year-old daughter, Beatrice.
