| Paul McCartney to play Glasgow for first time in Two Decades |
 The Daily Record in Scotland has published an exclusive report that Beatles legend Paul McCartney is heading back to Glasgow for the first time in 20 years - in a massive gig slated for Hampden Park on June 20, 2010They are noting that top-secret details won't be unveiled for another 48 hours. McCartney, now 67, plans to end his 50 year live career with a huge farewell tour performing in venues where he has not previously appeared - and Scotland's national stadium is No.1 on his hit list. His spectacular show comes two decades - almost to the day - after he last played here. On June 23, 1990, the singer rocked the SECC as part of Glasgow's celebrations as European City of Culture. Originally, the show was to be staged at the adjacent Queen's Dock but was switched to the indoor venue. A McCartney insider told the Daily Record: "Paul has always loved playing in Glasgow since his early days with The Beatles. He has a great affection for Scotland and his home in Mull of Kintyre in particular. He went to High Park Farm when the group split and spent many happy times there with his late wife Linda and their children. The Hampden show will spark off many emotions and memories for him." "There have been a few missed opportunities over the years but Paul is thrilled Hampden is the venue. He loves Scotland and wants to play there again. It will be one of his greatest gigs ever." In 2003, McCartney disappointed Scottish fans when a gig planned for Celtic Park - part of his Back To The World tour - was shelved. Full details of his Hampden Park gig will be announced within days.
