Yesterday (May 23), it was announced that Sir Roger Moore died aged 89 after a short battle with cancer. Moore, best known for his role as James Bond, was beloved by many and knighted for services to charity in 2003. Paul McCartney took to social media to share a message with both the victims of the Manchester attack as well as Moore, whom McCartney worked together with on Live and Let Die.
“Like everyone else my family and I were shocked to hear about the terrible news from Manchester,” McCartney wrote. “All that’s left to do is send heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims and Ariana Grande. Praying that something like this never happens again. Love to everyone.”
“Further sad news today that Sir Roger Moore has passed away,” he continued. “Roger was a great man and of course a great James Bond who I was lucky to work with during the time of ‘Live and Let Die.’ He had a great of gold, a great sense of humor and will be missed by the many people who love him.”
