Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool shook last night as thousands of Paul McCartney fans gathered by the river Mersey for the final concert of the former Beatle's world tour.
About 35,000 fans attended a purpose-built open-air arena on the King's Dock as Sir Paul prepared for the curtain call to his "Back in the World" tour. He last played in his home town more than a decade ago.
The concert came after the announcement last week that McCartney and his wife, Heather Mills, 35, are expecting their first child. He said: "This is the big one. This is the most emotional gig of the tour."
He also confirmed that a dispute with Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon, over the songwriting credits of some Beatles songs, had been resolved. The disagreement came after the singer reversed the Lennon-McCartney credits of Beatles songs on his latest album. He said yesterday: "I'm happy with the way it is and always has been. Lennon and McCartney is still the rock 'n' roll trademark I'm proud to be a part of in the order it has always been." He had asked Ms Ono to approve the change, but she refused.
