McCartney paid £1 for Olympic gig

Agree with lots of your comments. Ask yourself this, If you'd never heard of him and you saw him in a pub singing solo would you stay....probably not. He's still riding in on his fame in the Beatles and like a boxer past his best he needs to retire. His voice has become embarrassing bad, not that it was ever special of course. Sorry Paul but the time has come I'm afraid

£1.....10x more than his performance warranted. He was terrible, an embarrassment at the Diamond Jubilee concert and his appearance at the Olympic ceremony spolit what was up to then, a great show. He never was a great singer and he should definitely now retire and spend his time counting his money.

i bet that his ex-wife will claim half of it

he should give his fee to charity

That was a £ to much, after his performance at the Queens jubilee .
I would have given him a £ not to turn up

Time to give up ,the voice has lost it admit that, you had your glory now make way for the younger singers

i needed some change from that, time to give up mate!

A £1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that much,,he should have paid us to listen

Let's be entirely honest here, he wasn't very good. But, just as the Americans used to roll out a well-used Frank Sinatra, we offer Paul McCartney. He's a world wide symbol of British music - and that's what the evening was all about, symbols. I do agree, however, that it would have been better to end the event with the lighting of the cauldon. That was spectacular!

I love the Beatles music and Sir Paul is a very talented musician but have to agree that the performance was not good. His voice was just not up to it.
