Informally, Paul said the "Paul is Dead" rumor was a bunch of "rubbish", adding, "If I was dead, I'd be the last to know." Officially, his response was: "Perhaps the rumour started because I haven't been much in the press lately. I have done enough press for a lifetime, and I don't have anything to say these days. I am happy to be with my family and I will work when I work."
