Paul McCartney: 'I F–ked Up'
Paul McCartney has been playing live for over 50 years. He knows there are a million things that can go wrong when playing a live concert in front of the entire world. But it turns out that during the London Olympics, there were a million and one.We all saw the former Beatle's sub-par performance at the Opening Ceremony, but what went wrong? Paul says:"I f–ked up. I was supposed to wait for a cue. But I forgot. Why? Well, there's this bloody great bell that we didn't know about. It was deafening… We prerecorded a playback in case all hell broke loose… We were live, everyone was there, the world was ready and this bloody great bell goes off. And I forget I've gotta wait for it, so I go, 'Hey Jude', and someone presses the playback. So there's me on the backing track, and actual me; two of us singing. The drummer wouldn't look at me because he was in hysterics and I was thinking, 'What have I done?' There was no stopping, it was the Olympics."Guess he WASN'T saved by the bell!We forgive you, Paul! Besides, you're the songwriter! When you mess up, it's a last-minute rewrite! LOLz![Image via Dan Jackman/WENN.]
