Former Beatle Sir Macca has recorded instrumental tracks for a song on the first solo album of Travis frontman Fran Healy, tentatively titled ‘Wreckorder‘
As his show of appreciation Healy thanked the star by becoming a vegetarian as Sir Paul is a strict vegetarian himself.
The official website posted following on the matter: ‘My wife Nora and I were sitting and thinking of a thank you present and I suggested going vegetarian. Our son is already one, so it would mean we would all be on the same boat. I met Paul at his show in Berlin and told him what we wanted to do. He was visibly flabbergasted. Three days later the FedEx man delivered three Linda McCartney cook books. I haven’t had any longing for meat or fish yet.”
Healy still has a hard time believing that Paul agreed to appear on the album.
He added on his blog: ‘One of the biggest coups was getting Paul McCartney to play bass on a song.
“I’m not sure what non-McCartney songs he’s played bass on but I couldn’t think of many. His bassline is always brilliant.”
McCartney is a multi instrumentalist but was predominantly responsible for playing the bass guitar while in The Beatles.
