Happy to hear. Wondering if some tickets will be open and if we can still fly there. I'm going for my annual  birthday month celebration!!! Saying MUCHo prayers that all will be well and thinking positive.

You've got to be kidding! Paul should not endanger himself and neither should you! They should cancel Glastonbury.

I highly doubt this crap will still be going on by June, though. At least not to this extent. I have to think that with all the extreme measures they're taking now, shutting down many public places/events, it should die down soon.

Good grief, I'm getting so fed up with this paranoia. I know you have to take precautions, but the whole fucking world can't shut down over this bullshit. We have to go on with our lives. Just do all that you can to encourage sick people to stay home. The rest of us can't afford to hide away for God knows how long. There are places to go and things to do!

Very strong rumours about a show in Tel Aviv in May or June 2020!!!!

I hope it will come true. Has that rumour been mentioned to the general public by the local radio/TV/newspapers?

Yeah, I'm skeptical. I haven't heard legitimate rumors of ANYTHING for months now.

You're a very sweet boyfriend, but there is virtually no way to accomplish this. You would have to be a personal friend of his or friend of someone very close to him. There's no way to write him or contact him either. Sorry. ️

Which, I guess, is understandable. There's no way he would be able to respond to every request that came his way.

Now, I communicate with John, but obviously things are different with him. He's no longer bound by physical laws such as time and space, so even though he's speaking me telepathically, he could just as easily be with Yoko simultaneously, as well as a dozen other people. Who knows?

Id think so too but we all were expecting fall 2019 shows and that didnt pan out

Yeah, true. But then again, he did 21 shows last year, and he's only got 11 scheduled so far this year. Maybe he's slowing down, but he also has room for a few more if he decided to.

Is it too early to discuss plans for next year? Well, this is the first rumor about Paul in 2021...

"According to the journalist Armando Gallegos there is the possibility that the new stadium in the Tlalnepantla area is open to the public by 2021.

The McCartney concert agenda is very extensive, they requested it between March and April 2021, when they will open the doors of the Cruz Azul Social and Cultural Sports Club."

Yeah, probably a bit too early. I'm still wondering if he's going to announce any more shows later this summer or fall. Fingers crossed.

Same. I really need something to look forward to this year, otherwise it's going to be super boring.

Yes, definitely keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe he could do a couple in the UK, and then some US cities he hasn't hit in a while. He would probably have time for that. When I saw him in August 2014 the announcement wasn't made until April, so I guess there's still a strong possibility of more shows being announced later this spring that could be for late summer or early fall.

I will be surprised if no other shows happen this year after Glastonbury. It's still early, more announcements will surely come in a few months' time.

Yeah, I have a feeling more announcements will be coming April or May–kind of like what happened with my concert. But then again, you just never know.

He did 8 shows in the area back in 2017 (2 nights each in NYC/Brooklyn/Long Island/NJ).  So it will be 3 years.  For that large of a market, it's possible that he could come back for a show or two.

Sounds about right. Hopefully he will announce a concert somewhere close to you!

The USA has a larger population than most countries and a higher number of fans who can afford Paul's ticket prices. [..]

*who can justify spending those prices :P.

I notice you have seen him about 25 times. Did you always buy the least expensive ticket? I've only seen him 8 times: 3 times did the Hot Sound Sound Package and once Gold VIP. The rest were regular priced tickets. I justify spending the big bucks those times because Paul and The Beatles are my only hobby/vice. Don't smoke, drink or do drugs. I'm not wealthy, but I'm comfortable and can afford it. That being said, I probably won't see him again. Mainly because of the deterioration of his voice and the sameness of his setlist and stage patter/stories.

I totally get what you're saying, but I honestly would pay just to watch him sit on stage and stare at the floor, lol. Just being in a Beatle's presence is overwhelming joy for me.

The USA has a larger population than most countries and a higher number of fans who can afford Paul's ticket prices. It's the biggest market in the world, so it's natural for entertainers from all countries to do a lot of concerts there.

What he's doing this year is the same he did in 2004: several European concerts as preparation for a single UK concert at Glastonbury. Perhaps there's a clause in the contract for the festival preventing artists from playing at other UK venues?

Yeah, idk. All I can say is I hope he gets around to Utah at least once more. He's getting older and I worry we may not have much time left.
