Paul McCartney is going back on tour in 2022, announces dates

Paul McCartney is back in action.

The former Beatles frontman announced his first tour since 2019, entitled “Got Back.”

The concert will kick off in April in Washington and run through June.

“I said at the end of the last tour that I’d see you next time,” the 79-year-old said in a press release. “I said I was going to get back to you. Well, I got back!”

The British rocker’s latest album, “McCartney III,” was released in 2020.

The companion record “McCartney III Imagined” dropped last year and featured collaborators such as Beck, Dominic Fike, Phoebe Bridgers, Anderson .Paak, Robert Del Naja and Idris Elba.

While the musician is a fan of his musical tours, he’s not so much one of giving out autographs to fans.

He revealed in an interview with “Reader’s Digest” in November that he doesn’t like to take selfies or sign autographs anymore because he finds it quite “strange.”

“‘Here,” the father of five said. “Can I write your name down on the back of this till receipt please? We both know who I am.”

“What you’ve usually got is a ropey photo with a poor backdrop and me looking a bit miserable,” he continued. “Let’s chat, let’s exchange stories.”

McCartney’s statements echoed his ex-bandmate Ringo Starr, who said in 2008 he would stop signing autographs because of his busy schedule. “I’m warning you with peace and love. I have too much to do, so no more fan mail,” Starr, 81, said at the time. “And no objects to be signed. Nothing! Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.”

When Starr was asked by Howard Stern in 2018 about his decision, the drummer explained, “That was one angry moment. In New York, actually, I was signing scratch plates that they have on guitars, and someone said, ‘Have you seen on the internet?’ There’s a guitar with my signature on a scratch plate.”
