The Beatles' Sir Paul McCartney 'emotional' as he lifts lid on 'surprise' that proves people wrong
Sir Paul McCartney wants to take the audience by surprise and "prove them wrong" when the UK leg of his world tour begins on Saturday. The Walton-born Beatles legend, 82, has been on the road since October, playing huge gigs on his 'Got Back' tour in South America and Europe.
He will play two sold-out nights at Manchester's Co-op Live this weekend, before moving onto London's The O2. They will be Sir Paul's first gigs in the UK since his Glastonbury headline set in 2022 and he wants to keep an element of surprise to the shows.
About the Manchester concerts, Sir Paul told the Mirror: "On the first night we can pull some surprises, but then the minute that gets on social media. It’s like the old comedians who used to complain that their jokes got told, so the next people who saw them knew the jokes.
