I read recently that Denny Laines wife (second wife?) had to set up a 'Go Fund Me' page in an attempt to raise $100,000 to cover medical bills as he had no health insurance. The fund had raised $56,000 at the time of reading. Same article made reference to her thanking McCartney for his generosity without going into specifics as to what that 'generosity' was.
Hard to believe that someone who was in two of the biggest bands of the 70's/80's and I assume a writing credit on Mull of Kintyre should require his family to have to resort to such measures.
RIP Denny. You left a great music legacy.
