Paul McCartney's post-Beatles life and career with Wings will be explored in the new documentary Man On The Run - and it's all set to hit Amazon Prime Video from Friday, February 27.
The film has been directed by Academy Award-winner Morgan Neville and is said to chronicle "the arc of McCartney's solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade."
The press release continues: "Through unprecedented access to previously unseen footage and rare archival materials, the documentary captures Paul’s transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens."
In the film, McCartney says: "The Beatles had been my whole life really. When we split up, I thought: ‘I’ll never write another note of music ever.’"
He adds: "We started Wings from square one. It was about trying to do something different. Wings was a dud when it had first come out. If anybody bad-mouthed us, I was thinking: ‘I’m going to make the best record you’ve ever heard.’”
McCartney also served as executive producer on the project.
