Paul McCartney has recalled how he worried that he was “gonna kill” an elderly fan with his on-stage performance of ‘Live And Let Die’.The renowned singer, songwriter, bassist and former Beatle detailed the moment in his A Life In Lyrics podcast – explaining how he began to make his performances more elaborate over time, but was left concerned about how it would impact one particular audience member.According to McCartney, he began introducing flames and pyrotechnics to his live shows many years ago, particularly during his renditions of the 1973 James Bond Theme, ‘Live And Let Die’.

Peter Jackson has suggested that more new music from The Beatles is “conceivable”, following his work on ‘Now And Then’.The filmmaker – who is most famed as the director of Lord Of The Rings – opened up about his time working on the new Beatles track in an interview with The Sunday Times, and suggested that he hasn’t fully ruled out the chance of more new releases in the future.It comes as he worked with surviving members of the group, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, to help bring the “final” track to life; by developing a music video for the song using new footage of the surviving members and unearthed clips of the whole band.Before the music video, which was shared last Friday (November 3), he had also worked with the band on the eight-hour docu-series, Get Back, which was released in 2021.Looking back at his time working on both Beatles projects, Jackson said that he thinks it is “conceivable” that more new music from the band could be developed.“We can take a performance from Get Back, separate John and George, and then have Paul and Ringo add a chorus or harmonies,” he told the outlet, reflecting on the series which saw him sift through 60 hours of footage and 150 hours of audio.“You might end up with a decent song,” he added.

He also said that he predicted that as he saw it as “the maximum span for a rock’n’roll group” at the time.Chiming in, Starr revealed that he was even less optimistic about the longevity of the rock group, and even had plans to become a hairdresser at the start.“None of us thought it would last a week!” he said.

It’s a nostalgic trip back to the Baby Boomer glory days of yesteryear.
