Paul released from Japanese hospital

A week after illness forced him to cancel shows in Japan and Korea, Paul McCartney is reportedly on the mend and has been released from St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo.

The Beatles legend was well enough to take a private jet from Tokyo and was en route home.
It is not known whether he is heading to either his London or Sussex property or his pad in New York's The Hamptons.

But a source confirmed he was excited about seeing the rest of his family and to continue his recuperation.

The pal said: "Paul has really been through the mill. He was desperately sad he had to cancel those shows but he was really poorly. But he is on the mend which is great news."

The 71-year-old was admitted to St Luke's International Hospital in the Japanese capital last Tuesday with a serious viral infection.

Sir Paul's wife Nancy Shevell, 53, was by his side throughout as he spent six nights being cared for by doctors.
