LONDON (AP) — Former Beatle Paul McCartney has told a British newspaper he believes he once saw God during a psychedelic trip.
The 76-year-old star told The Sunday Times he was “humbled” by the experience.
He said that “it was huge. A massive wall that I couldn’t see the top of, and I was at the bottom. And anybody else would say it’s just the drug, the hallucination, but we felt we had seen a higher thing.”
The Beatles’ music was heavily influenced by psychedelic drugs in the band’s final years.

The singer is promoting a new album and a tour. He remains one of music’s most popular concert acts.
