McCartney Times

Following his time with The Beatles, music legend Paul McCartney founded the band Wings in 1971, which included his wife Linda on keyboard. Paul has spoken out about what it was like taking his family on tour with the band.

Wings went on their first tour in February 1972, and Paul and Linda brought their three daughters with the band on the legendary trip. Known as the Wings University Tour, it was Paul’s first tour since The Beatles’ 1966 US tour, and involved several impromptu shows at universities across the UK.

On the blog on his website, Paul answered a fan’s question: ‘What was it like raising a family on tour?’. He responded: ‘It was great for us, and I think it was great for them. It meant that we didn’t have to worry about them, because they were right there with us. And we figured if you want to know geography, actually going to all these places was helpful – it was part of their education. So yeah, it was interesting!’.
