McCARTNEY TEAMS UP WITH STONES FOR CONCERT EXTRAVAGANZA
Music legends SIR PAUL McCARTNEY and the ROLLING STONES will play at this summer's (05) LIVE AID II concert.
The GIMME SHELTER rockers and former BEATLE McCartney will team up on 2 July (05) in London's Hyde Park at the charity extravaganza organised by SIR BOB GELDOF to bring attention to third world poverty.
McCartney will be the penultimate act to hit the stage before he joins the SIR MICK JAGGER and his bandmates for at least one song when they close the concert.
A Live Aid II concert is also being held in Washington DC, America.

seen stories posted on that elsewhere and it seemed they were just speculating on who COULD be playing at such an event. This site seems to be saying they WILL play it
I dont think theres a chance in hell of the Stones playing this show, to be honest.
Plus, U2 already have a show scheduled for Vienna that day.
PS : Just saw a quote by Geldof on the BBC's Ceefax service and he has categorically denied that such a concert is taking place

Singer and campaigner Bob Geldof has denied reports he plans to stage a Live Aid gig to coincide with the UK hosting July's G8 summit of world leaders.
Geldof, who was at the Rose d'Or TV festival in Switzerland, said: "It is kite flying, that's all it is. It is just talk.
"Why would I possibly repeat something I did 20 years ago?" he told TV Plus.
His spokeswoman confirmed discussions are taking place about holding shows to raise awareness about Africa.
The gigs would coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original 1985 Live Aid concert at Wembley.
Geldof's spokeswoman confirmed that the Live Aid Trust had been "discussing the plans to hold an event around the time of the G8 summit".
1984's Live Aid was split between London and Philadelphia
She said plans could be finalised when members of the Live Aid Trust, including original organiser and musician Midge Ure and music promoter Harvey Goldsmith, meet later this week.
She added it was not yet known if they would be joined at the talks by Geldof.
"I would expect we will know something definite this week, after the trustees have met," she said.
"If the Princes Trust have already indicated that they are prepared to step aside, then it would appear people are keen to see this happen."
London radio station Capital FM has said any clash between its annual Party in the Park and Geldof's concerts would prompt them to scrap their plans for this year.
