Paul McCartney tour rumors continue
The unconfirmed speculation that Paul McCartney will tour in the fall and that it will be is last world tour keeps popping up across the pond.
"A tour is being talked about, but there is no definite news at the moment." McCartney said through his spokesperson.
The latest from the British tabloid The Sunday Mirror suggests that McCartney will make this his last world tour since he wants to spend more time with his four-year-old daughter Beatrice. The two-year trek starting this fall would take him to Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia earning him at least £110 million from the planned 100 concerts. The paper said tour dates were weeks away from being released.
"The tour will be the last time he performs in many parts of the world," an unidentified source told the Mirror. "Beatrice and his family life are going to come first. He does not want to be away for months at a time."
McCartney's last massive tour was back in 1989-90 when played 108 shows; his last tour was in 2002 which earned him £63 million for just 58 shows.

I was able to get two seat on the field at AT&T Park for $179 + fees ... so no, you don't have to fork over $250 for seats if you don't want to. Actually there were some very cheap tickets in the rafters (I think they were $60 a pop).
Saw him twice in NYC last year for less than $250 a seat too, actually only paid $250 once at the show in Portland OR and that was a front row seat. Best seat ever was the first time I saw him in 2002, cost me just under $100 and I was in the first row on the side. Awesome show.
$250 for a concert ticket? He's so rich he should play for free or a realistic ($50?)
ticket price and give the cash to charity. I won't pay these unreasonable prices to see Clapton either.

i would pay anything to see sir paul in concert you loser
I saw him in 2005 at the TD Banknorth Building in Boston!!! Fantastic.
Get your facts straight.....I saw him in Boston in 2005!
Is it true that Paul maybe in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada♥
Yes
I know someone who just left a very well paid full time position to tour on this tour this fall.
I think it's pretty much a done deal.
that would be a dream come true for me if he came to america
Hi I've heard that George Michael and Paul McCartney will perform together in Quebec City this Sunday July 20th. Is this true?
George Michael is performing in Montreal Friday July 18 and Paul McCartney is performing a few miles away in Quebec City on Sunday July 20th for the Quebec City 400th anniversary.
Is this true?
John
The article said MASSIVE TOUR , DUMB DUMB'S!
There is a rumor that Paul will be in Québec city on July 20th for the celebration of Québec city 400th anniversary. If it is right, I'm gonna be there to see live one of my four favorites ever. Just guess who whre the three others..........
It is confirmed for July 20th in Quebec City!
See press release here:

correct me if I'm wrong, but it can't be named a "world tour" if he didn't went to ALL the continents.... europe and usa are not "the world".... so, I think he's last world tour was back in '93
A tour is a tour .My wife and I saw Paul Madison Square Garden Oct 5,2005.Lenny Kravitz was behind me and Billy Joel was in front of me.A TOUR IS A TOUR.KNUCKLEHEAD
We are delighted to see that Paul McCartney will possibly be going on tour very soon. We bought tickets to see Ringo Starr in Bethal, Ny. BUT HE DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE CONCERT DUE TO SOME DUMB REASON, THAT HE SHOULD HAVE PREVIOUSLY PLANNED OUT! We are very upset with the poor planning and terrible disaster he has caused. He has lost many fans. Although we will not pass up the opportunity to see Paul live, maybe even twice. SO BRING ON THE TOUR!
Drove 400 miles to not see Ringo at Bethal Woods.
Poor planning and no respect for the fans.
Thanks Ringo for wasting my time.
We too went to Bethel and were sad BUT we walked the grounds of "Woodstock" after hours (very cool indeed) and then proceeded to drive 195 miles to CT the next day to see THE SHOW...and what a show indeed! Totally worth the extra miles and we even waved with epace signs and got a direct response from Mr Starr! So lost fans? "Not a (second) chance" PEACE AND LOVE!
Sure, he plays here-and-there all the time, but his "Space Within US" and "Back in the USSR" shows were very limited compared to his exhausting world tours. At 66, mounting a campaign like that is unimaginable. I have trouble just doing Friday and Saturday nights at the corner bar, and I'm 10 years younger!
"his last tour was in 2002"
His last concert was 2005. He also played a lot between 2002 and 2005 - maybe that was the Russian tour. I saw him in Detriot in 2005 - OUTSTANDING SHOW!
Would love to go again.
I saw the show in Detroit in 10/05....great, especially "Too Many People".
I saw him in Detroit in 2005 on the Friday night show. My wife and I flew from Nashville to go with my best friend and his wife. Dream come true to Paul live!

Just because he didn't tour The USA doesn't mean he didn't tour!
They are talking about a world tour.
I wish reporters would check their facts when writing articles. McCartney did a world tour in 1993. And 2002 was not the last time he toured. He toured again in 2005.
Any news out there that Paul would do a Los Angeles or Anaheim or San Diego tour date? Please don't leave the West Coast out of a continuation of your tour!!
