It's well-known that Sir Paul has stared death in the face a number of times. On each of those occasions, he's managed to charm and cajole the Grim Reaper into giving him a few more years.
He has been given reprieve after reprieve, but now it looks like it's only a matter of time before the Grim Reaper has come to collect his dues.
