It’s been a busy year for Paul McCartney. He undertook his “Got Back” tour around the world with stops in Europe and Central and South America, while the 60th anniversary of the Beatles’ first trip to the United States was celebrated with a new Disney+ documentary.

Paul’s tour came to an end in London last week when he played two nights at the O2. The second show (December 19) gave fans a surprise when he brought his former bandmate Ringo Starr to perform two songs in the encore.

With the tour behind him, the 82-year-old is looking forward to a relaxing Christmas break. He hasn’t announced any future tour dates, so will be able to take some rest after a hectic few months of live performances.

In a fan question and answer session posted on his website yesterday, Paul revealed his plans for the festive period with his wife Nancy and children. A fan asked him how he was going to spend Christmas and he replied: “Just a well-deserved break.”

“It’s Christmas, so it’s family time for me. We’ve actually already finished the decorations. And I’m one of those people who likes to overdo the decorations, so I need a minute to sit back, relax and enjoy it.”

“Well, that’s something to look forward to… And I wish you a Merry Christmas!”

When asked who he was most grateful for at the end of 2024, Paul said: “My family, as always; my children and Nancy, who are all great people. I love her. With them and the grandchildren I have a really pleasant family, especially at Christmas with all the presents. They say, ‘Thanks, Grandpa, I love her!’ And that’s just Nancy!”

Paul also used the Q&A to reveal that he is working on a new album, which he hopes to complete in 2025. When asked if he had any New Year’s resolutions, he said: “Here’s one: to finish an album! I worked a lot on songs and had to give it up because of the tour.

“So, I hope to get back in there and finish a lot of these songs. So how about this? ‘My New Year’s resolution is to finish a new album!’”
