Description
Paul McCartney's creative renaissance in the 2000s was marked by personal challenges and innovative works. Following Linda's passing in 1998, he released albums such as Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005), Memory Almost Full (2007) and Electric Arguments (2008). This period also saw him marry in 2002, divorce in 2008, and rediscover love with Nancy Shevell. During this time, McCartney performed over 190 concerts to audiences of 3.7 million people, including notable shows at Red Square, Glastonbury and Coachella. His music spanned diverse genres, while he also campaigned on animal welfare and human rights. A testament to his enduring talent, Bob Dylan praised McCartney in Rolling Stone magazine, saying "He can do it all. And he's never let up." This book reviews the creative output of Paul McCartney as he entered his fifth decade as a musician, covering album tracks, concert tours and one-off releases.
