According to the Daily Mirror Paul Mccartney is about to announce for the next autumn the start of his last tour ever.
It will be a colossal two-years tour across all the five continents, after which Paul is going to stop touring to spend more time with his family (he got a four years old daughter to grow up, anyway).
If so, we’re going to learn more in the next weeks.
In the meantime, what do you think about? Dont’you think is normal being bored to travel around the world for a 66yo man which is always been too busy - as John Lennon once said - having 25.000 children and 25 album to promote at a time?

On July the 10th 1964 the Beatles came back in Liverpool for the first time after touring in the US. On the next July 10 the city will celebrate the anniversary hosting the first Beatles Day ever.
Local radio stations will play only Fab Four music and the city will be full of inflatable guitars and mop-tops on sale. Other more serious things still wait to be announced.
It could be a nice idea, but don’t you think it’s tourism business rather than music?
