Paul McCartney explains significance of Manchester gigs as unseen pictures in rehearsals released

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Sir Paul McCartney is back on home turf in the north west to prepare for four huge UK gigs to end 2024 in style. The Beatles' legend has been on the road since October on his ongoing Got Back tour across the world, including dates in South America and Europe.

But there's no place like home for the Liverpudlian music legend. When the gigs were first announced, fans in Liverpool had been questioning why he would chose to perform in Manchester rather than back up the M62 this December.

However, the Band on the Run star says it was an easy decision. He will perform two nights at the new Co-op Live Arena this weekend, before heading to London's 02 Arena next week.
