So the creation of this album followed a course "refreshed" by these memories of the past." Since February 1995, McCartney has collaborated with Jeff Lynn, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the Electric Light Orchestra, a passionate fan of The Beatles. The album Flaming Pie is the last to be recorded by Paul's wife Linda McCartney, who died of breast cancer in 1998.
