Paul McCartney: 'The Beatles Almost Reformed'

Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that The Beatles came close to reforming.

The singer said the Liverpool group discussed a reunion on more than one occasion but could never all commit to the idea.

“There was a bit of talk of The Beatles at certain points,” Sir Paul told Q magazine.

“What used to happen was three of us would fancy it and then maybe George or John or I wouldn’t.”

Sir Paul, who launched a solo career after the band split, said “it was a blessing” that they never reunited.

“We’d done it, why spoil it?” he added. “Whether it’s god given or not those four people was a pretty good mix.”

As previously reported, Sir Paul is set to embark on a UK and Ireland stadium tour this summer.
