Rod Stewart feels sorry for McCartney

Rod Stewart says he feels sorry for Sir Paul McCartney.

The Scottish rocker insists he understands the heartache Paul has been battling following his split from wife, Heather Mills, and admits his divorce to model Rachel Hunter was a sad chapter in his life.

After being presented with the Outstanding Achievement award at last night's (05.09.06) GQ Awards, Rod said: "My lowest point was when Rachel left. That was a bolt of lightning. It was terrible.

"Look at Paul McCartney now. I feel so sorry for him. But I don't blame Rachel. My eldest daughter is six years older than Rachel was when we first met. But it was earth shattering when she went. I wasn't prepared for it at all. I grew up a lot after that."

The men's magazine awards, held at London's Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, saw Paul scoop the Man of the Year prize despite his acrimonious split from Heather.
