Roger Wink Dissects Paul McCartney ‘Pure’

The Beatles will mark Global Beatles Day on 25 June with the first official online release of a colourised version of their landmark 1967 performance of All You Need Is Love, commemorating one of the most significant broadcasts in music history.

The Rolling Stones have opened up about the making of their forthcoming album Foreign Tongues, revealing that the record bridges multiple eras of the band's recent history. Speaking to Vernon Kay on BBC Radio 2's Tracks Of My Years, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood detailed how the project evolved from years of demos and unfinished ideas into a 14-track album featuring both newly recorded material and performances from late drummer Charlie Watts.

The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix has unveiled the first artists for its 2026 entertainment program, confirming performances from Split Enz, Goo Goo Dolls, Mark Ronson, DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem and Rev Run, but the announcement stops short of including Paul McCartney, whose name surfaced earlier this month following comments made by Neil Finn on Australian television.

Paul McCartney says an unreleased recording of The Beatles classic The Long And Winding Road by Prince has resurfaced, and the former Beatle now wants to explore completing it for release.

Paul McCartney used BBC Radio's Tracks Of My Years with Vernon Kay to map the records that shaped his life, from Gene Vincent and Chuck Berry to John Lennon, while sharing stories about Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and the artists he sees carrying global pop culture today.

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.
