There's a great Beatles Tribute band called The Bootleg Beatles & the guy who plays Paul McCartney has been doing daily videos of Guess the Beatle bass line. He's also done a video talking about his Hofner bass that he uses. It's thoroughly entertaining. It's really enjoyable if you want to watch something McCartney related 😊

There will be no big concerts anywhere for a while. People like Paul will be okay, but all the roadies, sound techs, food vendors, etc. are going to really suffer.

Want to know why did Paul say it was postponed only a few weeks back? Not angry at the fact it's cancelled, angry at the way it's been done

Me too. I'm wondering what changed, since it originally looked like they would be postponed.

Also wondering what the "current and future commitments" are. The musical? Something must be in the works for next year.

The "current and future commitments" excuse is not the real truth for me. Some people think the postponement was not possible because Paul has already another shows in the radar for 2021, but I'm not so sure about that. He seemed to be very concerned about the pandemic in the Howard Stern interview and in the Lady Madonna performance. I think he is not going on tour until we got a cure for the virus and MPL didn't want to told us the true reason. And we don't know when things are going to be normal, which makes difficult book new dates.

That's a good point. If that is the reason, I wouldn't blame Paul at all for not wanting to take any chances. Everyone's safety is the priority. I think we would all accept that as a good enough reason for a cancellation, though, so I don't know why they'd feel the need to make up an excuse.

I don't think any artist would say that would expect a cure for the virus; it would be more acceptable to tell  the fans that it was not possible to set new dates.

But as thenightfish said, there were many countries on this leg of the tour, which could make things difficult to reorganize the shows.

Agreed. I can speak for Italy and the original idea was to simply postpone the concerts in Lucca and Naples to 2021. There were also some interviews with the organizers, the mayors of the two cities etc confirming this.

But it's not easy to reschedule a Paul McCartney event... which is much more complicated than average.

Plus I also do believe Paul was not so confident about how the situation would be evolving ... and probably not even so sure about his plans for 2021. I am not really sure he feels like touring now. I think he has other priorities - and I understand it.

Even though it is still a couple of months away, l wonder if Paul's European concerts will still go on.

Don't tell me... I'm right in the middle of this mess and I'm still hoping that the situation will be fixed and in worse situation... that the concerts will be just "postponed" and not cancelled. Let's say... hope of deliverance from this epidemic.

See you are from Italy. I had the good fortune to have visited your country twice, last time was last September. I have been in Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence, Naples and Capi. They are all wonderful with so many neat things to see and do. We absolutely were stunned by the beauty of Capri and I have some fantastic pictures from there. In Rome, we did all the tourist things but especially loved tour of the Roman Coliseum and actually being inside it also. Being a Catholic, going to the Vatican was awesome. Our hotel both times was near Trevi Fountain and we did toss a coin over our right shoulder - lol. Anyway, I hope you get to your concert. Just wanted to mention I enjoyed your beautiful country and wishing everyone there the best with this virus issue.

Had you been vaccinated or not when you got it? If not you can get vaccinated this month. (I had it in Dec and got 1st shot in March)

ahhh! I hadn't been vaccinated when i got Coronavirus, but thanks and congrats for your question and dose of vaccine!

They say to wait 90 days after Covid symptoms first appeared to get 1st shot. Mine started Dec. 28th, but I got 1st Pfizer shot Mar. 12th and 2nd on Apr. 3rd. Please get vaccinated! ✌️❤️

Wow, today would have been Paul's concert in Barcelona, ​​I have never seen it live, and I had bought a hot sound ticket, because it was possibly going to be my only opportunity to see it and I wanted it to be the best possible experience.

The truth, in view of everything that happened this year, I hoped that the concert would be at least rescheduled, since in reality what I wanted was to attend the concert, but it was finally canceled.  I hope to see it at some point in the future, I am optimistic with a solution to the whole virus issue, so if you announce a new concert in the future I will do my best to be there.

I want to express my solidarity to the fans of the concert in Italy, because they bought tickets to have a happy experience with one of the best musicians in history and now they have a bitter drink, I hope they have a satisfactory resolution to this and can continue listening to the Paul music with joy.

And well, if Paul were to read this (which I honestly don't think, but who knows haha) I wish him a very happy 78th birthday, I hope he has a happy time and thanks for all the wonderful music he has created, which is the soundtrack of my life  from when I was a child until today, and will continue to be so throughout my life.  Thanks Paul.

Mi piace il tuo post e molti hanno fatto la stessa domanda. È una scelta di Paul che gli piace l'energia di quei giovani

😅 Ne ho visti molte volte alcuni semplicemente seduti lì. Non conosco la canzone o il testo, solo Hey Jude ... mi infastidisce anche ... ti sento ... 😁😅🤣🤣😆

Hey, Harley! Do you remember when in Verona I predicted you that in Vienna he would call you on stage ... and he did!

Barcelona confirmado para 17 ó 24 de junio. Mañana anuncio oficial.

I think they still sell tickets, because they will not cancel the show, but postpone it.

So every sold ticket is money they can work with.

I got a full refund from ticketmaster.fr last week after having filled out the above mentioned form

Today was going to be the day! 

Right now i'd be in my decent seat awaiting the legend to take the stage, beautiful weather and hopefully a great audiance. Obviously it cannot be helped, but nonetheless it's very sad that we're missing this opportunity to see this legend!

Anyone else feeling blue?

I would've been there too! Just received my refund this past week.

Beyond sad about this gig -- it's felt like ages since I've seen him, and this would've been my first outdoor gig! (From what I've seen the venue had open sky?) Was really hoping just for a postponment.

Crossing my fingers for a 2021 Europe return! x

Is this still happening?  I thought Pres. Macron had cancelled all concerts through mid-July in France.

Very sad yesterday evening...

Such a chance to see Paul on stage at 3 km from my home will probably never happen again.

there is always the possibility of disappointment. It depends on each person personally!​​​​​​​

TW Classic Belgium 21 june: That's my birthday. I just have to go! I hope to get tickets in pre sale..

Good news for those who had bought tickets for Lucca. The amendment at the Decreto Rilancio, which provides for the refund, has been approved by the Senato this morning, 
Now the DL will return to the Camera for the settlement in law! 
So, after the publication of the law in the Gazzetta Ufficiale, we will know which way to request a monetary refund.

This is great news

Thanks for the udate

Any idea when will we be refunded? I wonder..will we have to apply or will we just get it?

.

After the settlement of the law, we have to wait for the publication in the Gazzetta Ufficiale and therefore we will know  which way  to request the monetary refund.

Sorry I should have written that 75 euro was for the general admission standing on the floor. We were about 15 people from the front of the stage. I'm sure there were the more expensive hot sound packages etc at the very front.

Yes, all the main newspapers published it a few days ago.  They mentioned that ticket prices will apparently be around 400 to 1200ILS (120-350 USD).

It that within the price range usually charged by other big international artists that play in Tel Aviv?

Regarding the possible date of the concert, I think that May (before the concerts in France) is more likely than June (pretty full schedule already).

if that happens, the number of material for Paul's docummentary gets bigger and even more interesting because it looks like the last imagens will be recorded at the show in Glastonbury.

It's already been confirmed that documentary footage will be shot at Glastonbury by filmmaker Charlie Lightening, however, the BBC always records and broadcasts live footage and interviews from Glastonbury which could also be used in Lightening's as yet untitled film.
