"It's lovely to have the reverse of the conversation that I've had with so many people which is like we are under threat," she says. "My experience has taught me is that I probably am screwing up a whole load of things and I'm willing to hear it if I am." The singer believes he was really crucial part of the Beatles but you weren't sure about their break-up in Get Back. She also sees herself as an artist who stays curious about wider social issues.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

This week Katherine chats to journalist and writer Alexandra Heminsley, author of Some Body to Love. After infertility treatment, a challenging pregnancy and a sexual assault, Alex found her relationship drifting apart for reasons she couldn’t fully understand. But when her partner finally disclosed that they wanted to transition to being a woman, Alex had to come to terms with something she never expected: being part of a LBTQIA+ family. In this conversation, she explores her compassionate response to her former partner’s needs, how it has changed her viewpoint on life, and how life can be remade in the face of the unexpected.
