    Superstar Paul McCartney plans to start a new life on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. He sunbathed in the West Indian sunshine with his wife Linda and two-year-old son, James yesterday and talked about his future. McCartney, still shaken by the New York killing of his former Beatle, John Lennon in December, said, "I don't want to end up with some crazy guy coming to Montserrat to make a target out of me and my family. I want to be on a low profile. I want to bring up my children normally, and I can't do that with all the photographers popping out of the bushes."

     McCartney clashed with two news cameramen on the island on Wednesday. Furiously, he rammed their car with his Mini Moke and shouted at them after they took his picture without permission.

     McCartney arrived on Montserrat with his family a week ago. He is staying on a private estate about 20 minutes away from a recording studio owned by Beatles producer George Martin. Another ex-Beatle, Ringo Starr, is on the island too. "Ringo is here as a guest star for a few tracks on my new album. That's all," said. McCartney. "This is definitely not a Beatles reunion. There can never be a Beatles reunion ever again."
