Paul McCartney says his wife, Linda, has made a full recovery after undergoing surgery for breast cancer in December.

The ex-Beatle and his 53-year-old wife had stayed silent on the subject since she had a lump removed from her breast.But McCartney decided to break their silence following a British news report this week suggesting his wife was still seriously ill.

McCartney, 54, told the British national news agency Press Association that his wife's recovery had delighted her doctors.
