It's conceivable, in my mind, that Paul's formal, multi-city, continent-spanning mega tour days are over. He'll play again. The occasional posh, iconic music hall, world capital stadium there, the odd rock festival here and the live, closed-circuit to DVD video broadcast and award shows will go on. But I had a funny thought the other day that the roll-out of 36 cities with 40 shows in 50 days era is over. What do you think? OF COURSE I HOPE I AM 100% WRONG!  |

I think that touring is a fun thing for Paul, and he would miss it.....he may take a bit different approach from now on, something a bit less taxing.

Even if he does give up touring (on a massive scale), I wouldn't hold it against him, after all, he's given the world so much already. I just hope he never gives up recording until the very end--also that we see him in the occassional tv special or film. That would still be good enough for me.

KyleNZ; No word yet, since the court settlement there has been the predictable rumors and demands of a tour, but nothing else. Assuming the "news" about a tour of Australia/N.Z. was accurate a while back, perhaps it's still in play and will resume from planning to reality in the near future. If so, that's just the kick in the ass I need to make my dream trip of the area become realized!  |

Apparently, there is a published report that Macca is to embark on a world tour for the next 2 years! Hope it's true, I don't know the reliability of The Mirror. There are no direct quotes from Macca or Macca "people."
Anything else on this???????

I'm afraid I will have to sit this one out - I'm almost retired from my "touring" days, lol. I hope lots and lots of young people get out there and see him - this may very well be their last chance. Hopefully there's an 18-year-old out there who's life will be changed by seeing Macca this year the same way mine was when I saw him 15 years ago.  |
