  • Trivia
    Released a hastily-recorded solo single, "Japanese Tears", in the spring of 1980, with Wings bandmate Paul McCartney facing a possible prison sentence (for marijuana possession) in that country. As it turned out, McCartney was released after only a few days in jail - and ended his collaboration with Laine shortly afterward.
