Paul McCartney will reportedly play his first gig in Tel Aviv on September 8.
The Beatles were denied permission to tour Israel in 1965, following claims the band would corrupt the country’s morals. The ban stayed in force until earlier this year.
The Sun reports that both Paul and Ringo have received letters of apology, saying. “We should like to take this opportunity to correct the historic omission which to our great regret occurred in 1965 when you were invited to Israel. We missed a chance to learn from the most influential musicians of the decade.”
Macca’s advisors are now said to be hammering out plans to play an open-air gig at either Ramat Gan football stadium or Hayarkon Park before he jets off to tour Western Europe.
Stay tuned for more details!
Ronnie Wood has entered rehab for the seventh time in an attempt to battle his alcohol addiction.
Last week, reports emerged that the Rolling Stone was allegedly drinking two bottles of vodka a day in his County Kildare mansion with Russian companion Ekaterina Ivanova.
A spokeswoman for the guitarist said. “Following Ronnie's continued battle with alcohol he has entered a period of rehab, his close family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery.”
The Last Shadow Puppets have added four dates to their Autumn UK tour.
The dynamic duo's full European tour now looks like this:
