Paul McCartney Postpones US Dates

Elvis Costello's obscure 1970s demo "Jump Up" was never a hit, never a single and rarely played live, yet it became one of the most discussed songs of the final episode of Stephen Colbert's Late Show. The track's political satire, its unusual history and Colbert's long-standing affection for the song explain why an overlooked recording resurfaced for television's farewell moment.

Paul McCartney became the final interview guest on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, using the programme's closing chapter to revisit The Beatles' first American visit and reflect on childhood memories that continue to shape his songwriting.

Paul McCartney has shared the story behind ‘Home To Us', a new track from his upcoming album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane, revealing how an unfinished Ringo Starr drum session evolved into a completed collaboration. During an intimate Los Angeles listening event in April 2026, McCartney also reflected on memories from before The Beatles, including a hitchhiking trip with George Harrison that became part of the album's personal narrative.

Paul McCartney has released two previously unseen performances from the Saturday Night Live Season 51 finale, with post credits renditions of Beatles classics ‘Help!' and ‘Drive My Car' now available online after they were omitted from the original broadcast.

Sparks frontman Ron Mael has reflected on two of the band's most unlikely celebrity connections, an unexpected friendship with Cate Blanchett and the time Paul McCartney paid tribute by impersonating him in a music video.

Paul McCartney returned to Saturday Night Live for the ninth time this weekend, performing new music from forthcoming album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane alongside classic Wings and solo material in the Season 51 finale.

Thirty years after its release, Elvis Costello's 1996 album All This Useless Beauty is being reassessed as one of the pivotal records in his catalogue, marking the end of his long partnership with The Attractions and the close of his Warner Bros. era.
