Paul McCartney Refused to Play Beatles Songs With Wings Even Though It Made His Life Harder
After The Beatles broke up, Paul McCartney began touring for the first time in years with his band Wings. The Beatles stopped touring in 1966, so many people hoped to hear McCartney perform them live with Wings. He shared why he decided not to do that on their first tour, even though it complicated things for him.
Paul McCartney didn’t want to play Beatles songs on his 1st tour with Wings
McCartney went years without touring, so he admitted he was “very nervous” ahead of his first concert dates with Wings.
“The main thing I didn’t want to face was the torment of five rows of press people with little pads all looking and saying, ‘Oh, well, he’s not as good as he was.’ So we decided to go out on that university tour, which made me less nervous because it was less of a big deal,” he told Rolling Stone.
