Paul McCartney Mulls World Tour
"That would be good. I do fancy that actually," the former Beatle said in a statement Wednesday regarding plans to launch his first world tour in eight years this fall.
McCartney, whose Wingspan (Hits & History) debuted at number two on the charts this week while the special of the same name drew about 15 million people Friday, is putting the final touches on a new studio album for release in September, at which time he says he's likely to launch some kind of world tour.
"I think it is very likely that I might tour around then. I like to go out on the road with a new album and I'm very excited by this one," McCartney says. "I've been recording it in the States and we recorded 18 tracks in just two weeks. Recording new songs makes you enthusiastic and want to get out and play them."
The tour, described by Reuters as possibly a series of "impromptu shows," would be McCartney's first since 1993's Off the Ground tour. Although in the interim, McCartney has overseen performances of his classical works and done one-night stands, like his infamous pre-millennium Cavern Club gig in 1999 that was Webcast live. (Most fans couldn't hear a thing due to Net congestion.)
With McCartney making the publicity rounds lately pushing his Wingspan documentary, soundtrack and a poetry book, Blackbird Singing, you might think he'd be willing to reform Wings. But Macca has nixed the idea, deciding to tour with the mostly unknown sidemen who play on his album.
"You can't reform Wings for the same reason that you can't reform the Beatles, because a very important member of each band wouldn't be there," he tells Reuters. "With the Beatles, it is John and with Wings it is Linda."
Linda McCartney, a photographer, vegetarian activist and sometime musician passed away in 1998 after a two-year bout with breast cancer.
Meanwhile, McCartney, 58, recently took a potshot at Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, telling Radio Times magazine that Ono refused to change the song credits for "Yesterday."
The best-selling ballad, while officially credited to Lennon-McCartney, was a Paul tune, featuring him playing an acoustic guitar backed by a string quartet.
"At one point Yoko earned more from 'Yesterday' than I did," McCartney told the magazine.
"It doesn't compute, especially when it's the only song that none of the Beatles had anything to do with. I asked as a favor if I could have my name before John's on the Anthology credits for 'Yesterday,' and Yoko refused."
