Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell were in New Orleans for Super Bowl Sunday, and over the weekend he found himself on a street car with fellow revelers. The former Beatle used the time to serenade those around him with hits from the Fab Four's catalog, but most thought he was a lowly busker who would soon ask for tips.

On Monday (Jan. 28), Eric Clapton announced that he is putting out a new album, 'Old Sock,' on March 12. Apart from the track listing, not too much other information has been available about the project. However, on Wednesday (Jan. 30) Clapton revealed the many guest stars who will appear on the record.

Given his decades of outspoken advocacy for vegetarianism and animal rights, it probably shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that the animals on Paul McCartney's sheep farm don't have to worry about ending up on anyone's dinner plate. In fact, as he revealed during a recent interview, they tend to live to a ripe old age.

If it seemed to you like 'Cut Me Some Slack,' Paul McCartney's collaboration with the surviving members of Nirvana that was unveiled during the 12-12-12 benefit, came out of nowhere, don't feel like you're out of the loop -- according to Dave Grohl, that's really the way it happened.

Paul McCartney has long been one of rock's most outspoken vegetarians, so it should come as no surprise that the former Beatle tries to keep his tours as humane as possible -- and according to a rider obtained by the Smoking Gun, that includes an all-out ban on animal products.

Paul McCartney's collaboration with the surviving members of Nirvana wasn't as unlikely as it seemed on Wednesday night. Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic joined the Beatle to close the 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden. They sang 'Cut Me Some Slack,' which they wrote and recorded for Grohl's upcoming 'Sound City' documentary soundtrack, and the studio version is now available for sale on iTu

When you've got Paul McCartney as your musical guest, you need to take full advantage of his presence -- and that's exactly what 'Saturday Night Live' did on this past weekend's (Dec. 15) episode, finding a way to wedge in three performances from the former Beatle, with talented backing bands that included Joe Walsh and members of Nirvana.

The day's worst kept secret came to fruition about midway through Paul McCartney's 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit performance as his regular band exited the stage and the onetime Beatle found himself backed by the living members of Nirvana -- drummer Dave Grohl, guitarist Pat Smear and bassist Krist Novoselic -- for a brand new song called 'Cut Me Some Slack.'

Tonight's (Dec. 12) 12-12-12 concert is already the most star-studded music event of the year -- and, given that all proceeds are going to Hurricane Sandy relief, also one of the most altruistic. Now, according to reports, it'll also play host to a truly unforgettable rock reunion.

Paul McCartney is one of more than a dozen celebrities who've joined the Justice Collective, a group aiming to raise money with a charitable cover of the Hollies and Neil Diamond hit 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.' The song -- to be released on iTunes Dec. 17 -- will support the families of the Liverpool 96 as they fight for justice concerning a 1989 soccer tragedy at Hillsborough Stadium in Sh

He might be busy picking up Grammy nominations for his latest album, but Paul McCartney still has time to pursue humanitarian efforts -- and his latest involves trying to get you to set aside one day a week to stuff your face with something other than meat.

On Dec. 15, Paul McCartney will be the musical guest on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live.' This will be the last original episode of the show before Christmas. Martin Short, who was an 'SNL' cast member for the 1984-85 season, will be the host that evening.
