James had courageously faced various ailments over several years, confronting each setback with resilience and optimism. Though he occasionally retreated from the public eye to devote his energy to recovery and personal reflection, his passion for music and hope for better days never waned. In recent weeks, his health took a sudden turn despite the devoted care of loved ones, and he passed away peacefully in his family home, surrounded by the warmth and prayers of his closest circle.
In an emotional statement, Sir Paul expressed both devastation and gratitude: “James was my heart, my music’s echo, and the bond we shared was my greatest blessing.
