Paul McCartney To Retire Next Year?


paul-mccartney-2




Paul McCartney is ready to quit touring, nearly 50 years since first hitting the road with The Beatles, The Sun is reporting.

According to the paper, he will hit the road next year for one final world tour. A ‘source’ said:  “Paul wants to go out with a bang. He’s played countless stadiums over his 50-year career and is on the hunt for the most unusual locations he can find. He realises that the older he gets, the less his body will be able to cope with the demands of extended periods on the road. He might play the odd benefit gig if the likes of President Obama gives him a bell – but other than that he’ll be putting his feet up and enjoying retirement. The tour in 2010 is likely to last well over a year, by which time he will be almost 70. He’s making enquiries about a number of special locations and he’s keen to play in China and at Checkpoint Charlie.”


Silly Love Songs, Paul McCartney and the Wings

McCartney has been on the road for most of his adult life since embarking on his first major jaunt with The Beatles – their now imfamous residency in Hamburg, Germany. After the break up of The Beatles he continued to play live with his new band The Wings and then as a solo performer. His live tours have only grown in popularity over the years, providing generations of new fans the opportunity to hear classic tracks from his long career. It now seems 2010 may be the last chance to see one of the all time greats in action.
