Paul McCartney 2021 - Rumours
-
If you take a look at the source code of mccartneyiii.com you'll find this:
.splash-tour-title, .splash-tour-table-header-date, .splash-tour-table-header-venue, .splash-tour-table-header-city, .splash-tour-table-header-tickets {
So I think they have some dates in mind, possibly looking forward to make a ticket - album bundle to boost sales and get #1 again.
They are probably waiting to see how everything COVID related evolves to announce a new tour, put tickets on sale before the album is officially released.

I listened to that BBC interview and Paul said he DID like the Dodger Stadium show. ("we did have a very good night.") Who else hears this?
Me. I also heard "did have a very good night". From his complete answer, seems to me that he wants to continue performing when it is safe to do so again. Which makes sense to me because he loves it.

I've just listened back to that part of the interview a few times, and I think he definitely said "didn't". It's not the best quality recording, as it's a telephone interview, so it isn't crystal clear, but you can definitely hear the second syllable of the word "didn't". When you think about what he says next, about what if that is the last gig, then it also makes sense. It's like he's saying that it would be a shame if the last ever gig that he performed was, in his eyes, not a very good one.

Sorry, but I beg to differ. He was saying it like "we did have a very good night" but just adding that it would still be a shame if it were their last gig. And also, Paul would NEVER say "we didn't have a good night!" It's just not something he would say!

I believe that he loved that show but the reason he's potentially disappointed is that he doesn't want that to be his last show nor does he want to stop performing. He had a big tour for summer 2020 so he wasn't slowing down performing. I believe that the Dodger's Stadium isn't his last show & he'll be back out there when it's save to do so

Hear, hear, Gordy!

I know that this post might not be popular but I don't care. Hopefully the days of the mega world tours are over. Paul has played more than enough shows in both North and South America.... his most favorite continents where he can gross the most money and where (some of) his craziest and wealthiest fans can be found. He should return back to small clubs and theaters and play all over the UK, his home place, which he neglected so often and he could also play sometimes elsewhere in Europe.
I totally agree with you, Kimsey. I think that even this post of mine will not be liked by many people. I believe that Paul should choose smaller venues to perform in order not to risk himself or his fans. I also hope that he finally favors his continent, because in recent years he has done 90% of his concerts in America. I'm sure that a "historical" site (rather than a "normal" stadium) in which to perform will give him unspeakable emotions!

Thank you, Gianna! I agree with you too!

I'll go anywhere to see him except Italy (geez, I wonder why?) once we can all safely travel again!

Now that there will be a vaccine will Paul do concerts in 2021? There are artists who are already programming for the following year, and I would like to know if Paul and her team are thinking something similar, since there will be a vaccine for the covid. if anyone has any information? I would be very interested
-
In General the safest thing will be to wait until the world gets vaccinated.
Don't know what Paul's team is planning, however, going to a Paul McCartney concert would be at the top of of my list of ways to celebrate the end of Covid...with lots of Fireworks too

With the release of his new album I watched his appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night hoping he would hint at hitting the road once the pandemic is over but nothing...

I'd imagine touring isn't on his mind right now. He seems like he's going to wait until there's a definite all clear to go back out, it's wise not book announce any dates yet as they don't want to postpone/cancel anymore gigs
-
We will have to assimilate that we will never see Paul touring anymore. On the last European tour almost all the cities on the tour announced that it was the last chance to see Paul in concert.
His voice is becoming so weak that it is difficult for him to maintain the tone of voice in a talk or interview.
-
Paul said to "The Sun" that he is keen to be back on stage whenever he can.
He also said this probably won't happen next year, maybe only in 2022. His voice is weak, we all know that, but at this point most of the audience comes just to see Paul. And if he tours again, I believe that will be the last time.
I don't know how to post the link, but the title of the article is "Sir Paul McCartney vows to be among the first names to receive the Covid vaccine in the UK"

Does anyone really think that Paul, in two years and at 80, can tour 30, 40 or 50 concerts a year? Really???

I didn’t say that he will be doing 30, 40 or 50 concerts. First of all, he never did 50 concerts in a year on the last decade. And if we take a look on his last tour, he did 18 gigs in 2018 and 21 gigs in 2019, so we are talking about 20 concerts or less.
He turning 80 doesn’t mean that he automacitly will loose his stamina on the next day. Yes, of course he doesn’t have much time left on stage and maybe the shows days are over, but we just have to wait and see what happens. But I’m happy to hear that he wants to return when it’s possible.

I´m very proud to have seen Paul live on 21 shows since 1989, and I am the first who would like to pack my bags to see Paul live in the future, but I have to honestly say that I no longer see it feasible. I insist, with each passing year, his voice is getting very weak, and I don't think he can even tour like the Stones for 15 shows a year, much less play almost 3 hours. Sorry, it's my opinion and it's a harsh reality.

If he is to play live again, he should do small venue show and acoustic set. Have one or two backup singers to help him on vocals. Maybe do something like "Springsteen On Broadway" where before each song he would tell story about the song he is going to play to make it a more personal concert experience. Try doing two 45 minute sets with 10-15 minute intermission. He could promote "McCartney III" and there are a couple of songs that would be perfect for this type of show. Film the shows and make DVD which could be sold or maybe have one of the concerts streamed. I think this is better than him trying to do a full out 2 1/2 -3hr show anymore.
