There were some very difficult moments and I often questioned my decision. But as we got better I thought, ‘OK this is really good’”: Paul McCartney relives his Wings years in a new book

Paul McCartney and Denny Laine of Wings recording in London, England on 21st November 1973.

Here’s something we weren’t expecting: Paul McCartney is to publish a memoir, of sorts. But one that focuses exclusively on his other band, Wings.

Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run is written alongside the author Ted Widmer and tells the story of McCartney’s 1970s, from the Beatles break up to Wings’ final dissolution in 1981. And it’s not just McCartney telling the story – Widmer has apparently interviewed “other key players in the band’s orbit.”
