Sir Paul McCartney may have got a Lifetime Achievement Brit Award but he’s not finished yet – he’s working on a new album.
Fresh from his headlining appearance at the Brits on Wednesday and last year’s well received ‘Memory almost Full’, the former Beatle has just started recording material for a new release this year.
His spokesperson says, “Paul started recording last week, but he has been writing for a while. It should be ready by the summer."
And McCartney has chosen a surprising collaborator for the project – he’s working with producer Youth at his studio in Icklesham, East Sussex, who is more noted for his work on more upbeat fare.

- ”If” Paul makes any kind of music that’s paletable, outside of the Beatles, I’ll be happy. I think his ex a ’ho’ and he should look at women his own age, if not older.
