The article I sent you (which I cannot find now) claims Paul flew out to see Neil in the hours before his death. This must be a bad year for Paul, with the messy divorce and losing both Norman and now Neil. I had NO IDEA that Neil had a child with Pete's mother! How did I miss that? And his future wife was kind enough to accept him as her own; they went on to remain married for over 40 years! until yesterday. Neil, and Norman's deaths really show how much a successful band like the Beatles was more than just the band itself: it was a sum of all its parts. Without input from Norman, Neil, George Martin, etc., how would they have fared? An interesting thought! The NY Times also has a good article on Neil.
