ROCK legend Sir Paul McCartney has offered Heather Mills a £40 million divorce deal to buy her silence, the News of the World can reveal. He will pay the money over 20 years and in return she must keep quiet about what went wrong in their marriage for the rest of his life. Macca, 64, who is worth about £825 million, came up with the deal as the mud-slinging between the pair eased. A source close to the couple said: "They are thrashing out a deal which would amount to between £30 million and £40 million over 20 years and there will be strict conditions. "Heather must reveal nothing about their personal lives… no books, no TV specials. "She has one hell of a story and Paul wants a settlement to make sure it never comes out. "Heather has no intention of telling it because she knows it would only hurt their daughter Bea, but it would always be lurking in the background. "Any breach of the conditions would allow him to stop the payments — so basically he has control of Heather for the rest of his life. "There’s a long way to go but it looks like that will form the basis of the settlement." "I don’t think there is a chance that they will get back together but the war is over. "They have reached a new stage in their relationship where they can talk, be around each other and co-operate in the best way for Bea. It’s a huge relief for both of them." A source close to Macca, who is planning a world tour next year, said: "He really hopes this latest move will see the end of it and give them both a chance to get on with their lives."

I doubt she will take it because she will want more.
