LONDON, England (CNN) -- Paul McCartney has reassured his fans that he feels fine and has no medical problems, despite recent reports to the contrary.
In a message posted on his Web site Thursday, the former Beatle said he was puzzled when people started asking him about his health. Then he realized their questions stemmed from a report this month that he had undergone a heart operation.
Sir Paul, 65, said the story was "entirely untrue" and that he was fine. "What happened was, over a year ago during a routine medical examination, there was a minor irregularity which I needed to have tests for and which I have now been assured is completely fine," McCartney said. "The media have only just recently reported an exaggerated version of this."
He added: "I'm happy to say that I feel great and I have passed my most recent medical with flying colors."
Sometimes I think the worst thing about being 50 is that it makes him 65. I simply hate this conversation.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I'm in love with Sir Paul too, and have been ever since I first saw him and three of his friends on Ed Sullivan when I was very very little. I couldn't wrap my brain around their hairstyles -- this was the 60s (early) -- when the only boys I knew were Stevie Friedman, who had a buzz cut, and my dad, who was bald. I had no idea boys could even grow hair. I was convinced they had to be wearing wigs or mops on their heads.
