Sir Paul McCartney has patched up his broken friendship with former Wings bandmate Denny Laine - nearly 30 years after they fell out.
The ex-Beatle formed Wings with his late first wife Linda, guitarist Laine and drummer Denny Seiwell in 1971 - one year after the Fab Four's split was officially announced.
McCartney and Laine came to blows in 1980 after the singer's arrest for marijuana possession by Japanese customs officials forced the band to scrap their planned tour of the country.
But the 65-year-old has since made up with Laine, with the pair meeting up in December last year to enjoy a U2 concert in London.

That doesn't really say why they fell out. I mean, was Denny angry at Paul for bringing the pot into Japan? Was he mad that he was on drugs in the first place? I don't get why the bust would make them fall out. I mean, it's not like Paul wanted to cancel the tour and get busted.

I just think he was mad at Paul for being so stupid - it was really difficult for the band to secure a gig in Japan in the first place - then Paul got busted!

That's great news about Paul & Denny being friends again since there could be a Wings reunion before too long. I believe it could happen with former members Henry McCulloch & Denny Seiwell with Macca reforming his 70's band.

It would be great if they did play together again but I'm not sure he would call the band Wings without Linda being a part of it (although that's exactly what he did with Free As A Bird!).
