The 76-year-old Beatles star spent the holiday in Saint Barthélemy along with his wife Nancy Shevell, 59, and daughter Stella, 47. "

Citando:
"Speaking of the campaign, Sir Paul said: 'My hope is that if there are kids being bullied - and there are… 

'Maybe by listening to this song and watching this video, they might just think it's not as bad… that it's the kind of thing you can just stand up to and laugh off and get through.'


Alongside the video, the #WhoCaresIDo campaign has also been launched inspired by the song and film. 


Shot on 65mm Kodak Film with Panavision Cameras, 'Who Cares' features a message of universal positivity rendered in vivid colourful detail. "

A review do Telegraph:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/concerts/paul-mccartney-review-o2-arena-two-beatles-one-rolling-stone/amp/

Citando:
"A tingle went down my spine when a second drum kit was rolled out during the encores, while McCartney told the crowd: “We’ve got a little surprise for you. It was a surprise for me too – it only happened today.” Even with that heavy hint, it was as if a jolt went through the room, a communal blast of awe, as Ringo Starr ran onto the stage, fit and sprightly at 78, and settled into the drum seat behind his last surviving partner in the greatest band of the rock era.

“Y’alright?” asked McCartney, hamming up the Scouse accent. “M’alright,” shouted back Ringo. And with the ever nimble and always enthusiastic figure of their old ally and rival Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones ripping out Chuck Berry-style riffs"


2018-12: Gravações áudio de diário de Yoko Ono

... apareceram no YouTube (apesar de haver quem questione a sua autenticidade):

Quoting:
"(...)

The audio was discovered by cultural historian Simon Wells who has, throughout his career, dedicated his time to writing multiple books on The Beatles, cult films, Charles Manson, The Stones and more. 

Having uploaded the audio to YouTube, Wells noted: “During the early days of her relationship with John Lennon, Yoko Ono would dictate her thoughts on life with Lennon into her own personal recorder – presumably to be given to John later.

“This, often personal, tape was made during the overdub session for ‘Revolution 1’ at EMI Studio number 3 on 4th June 1968. Parts of Yoko’s tape would be later used in the sound collage ‘Revolution 9’.”"

2018-12: Como Yoko perseguiu

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6460947/How-Yoko-Ono-relentlessly-pursued-John-Lennon.html

Citando:
"John Lennon became mesmerized by Yoko Ono after she set her sights on him, writes author Ray Connolly in new book  Being John Lennon: A Restless Life

Yoko was aggressive, constantly badgering John with letters and appearing at places he was


Yoko broke into 'the orbit of the Beatles' after meeting John at the Indica Gallery in London, where she was preparing for a show the next day


'From the very beginning of her career, she understood the power of networking and self-promotion; especially self-promotion,' according to Connolly


John 'felt that she was the star and he the audience', never had he met anyone like this 'odd little Japanese woman dressed in her black intellectual's uniform'


Yoko was writing letters to John, getting under his skin and was everywhere he was, even showing up at a meeting with a yogi in the Indian Himalayas


Yoko and John became inseparable and he insisted Yoko be at all sessions - inhibiting to the other Beatles and driving a wedge between John and Paul  


Their relationship became strained by 1972 and Yoko decided to get John a mistress - May Pang, 22, a Chinese girl who had been working for the couple"

2018-11: Paul McCartney partilha fotos do início dos Wings

... por altura de mais um reissue (edições expandidas) a 7 de Dezembro:
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/paul-mccartney-wings-reissue-wild-life-album-tracklist-linda-photos-a8660766.html

Citando:
"He explains that he had songs "knocking around" that would eventually end up on the Wild Life album. "What happens for me is that I write all the time and then suddenly I think: 'Oh god, I've got too many. I've got to record them to get them out of the way."

Addressing the backlash to the band and the album's lukewarm reception, McCartney says: "I'm not saying, 'yes, I'll do what you want. I'm saying, 'I'll do what I want.' People don't always like that."


The reissues of Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway are released on 7 December via MPL/Capitol/UMe."
