Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney has released the first single (and title track) from his upcoming 16th solo album, 'New.' You can listen to it above.

It looks like Paul McCartney won't be the only high-profile guest star on the upcoming release from Italian musician Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, a.k.a. Bloody Beetroots.

It looks like Paul McCartney is getting serious about that new album that his drummer dropped a few hints about several weeks ago.

On Aug. 9, 1968, the Beatles were in the middle of the recording sessions that would yield 'The Beatles,' the double LP better known as 'The White Album.' One song that got finished that day was Paul McCartney's 'Mother Nature's Son.'

For more than two decades, the folks at Simply Shakespeare have convened once a year to offer "a hilarious and entertaining evening of impromptu Shakespeare and song." This year, they're adding a former Beatle to the mix.

At this stage of his illustrious career, Paul McCartney has seen and done pretty much everything. Now that he's in his 70s, he's officially at an age when most artists start to think about slowing down. But Paul McCartney is not most artists.

It's been years since Kurt Cobain's death ended Nirvana's promising career, but the group's music is still closely identified with Seattle. So it only makes sense that when Paul McCartney played his first-ever concert in the city's Safeco Stadium, he invited the surviving members of Nirvana to join him.

Paul McCartney's performance of 'Hey Jude' at last summer's Olympics caused some people on social-networking sites to wonder if it was time for him to finally retire that chestnut. But his sold-out concert at Milwaukee's Miller Park on July 16 proved why he shouldn't: Nothing can unite a massive crowd like that famous coda.

It's been six years since Paul McCartney released an album of original material. But according to his longtime drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr., the former Beatle has written plenty of new songs since then.

Three years after breaking up, the Beatles were still quite capable of reaching the top of the best-selling singles charts. Only problem was, sometimes they had to climb over each other to get there.

A copy of Wings' 1972 single 'Hi, Hi, Hi' / 'C Moon' signed by both Paul McCartney and his wife Linda has sold for $1,205 after 16 bids on eBay. The late Linda added "Happy New Year" to her inscription.

Paul McCartney dropped by 'The Colbert Report' last night for a special hour-long episode that included an extended interview with the former Beatle and performances of six classic songs.
