Plans surrounding Paul McCartney's upcoming album and tour are still up in the air. Beatlefan magazine reports that his U.S. tour dates are currently being reworked and need to be finalized before an official announcement is made.
It was originally thought that McCartney would be announcing the official itinerary of his upcoming 38-city U.S. tour the week after his Super Bowl half-time appearance in February. So far, the only shows confirmed by McCartney's management are the opening date on September 16th in Miami at the American Airlines Arena, and the last show, slated for November 30th in Los Angeles at either the Staples Center or the Hollywood Bowl.
Meanwhile, according to the fan Website The Macca Report (homepage.mac.com), Nigel Godrich, one of the producers of McCartney's still-untitled new album, reports that the CD will be released on September 20th. Earlier this month McCartney's lead guitarist Rusty Anderson told LAUNCH that McCartney has so much new material that he believes that he might be releasing two new albums from the current crop of recording sessions.
* If Godrich is correct about the September 20th release date, and McCartney sticks to the September 16th opening date of the tour, this will mark the first time that McCartney has hit the road in support of a new album prior to its release.
* McCartney's new album has been recorded in both London and Los Angeles, and features tracks recorded with his touring band, various rock and classical session players, as well as several songs with McCartney playing all the instruments himself.
* McCartney is rumored to be adding dates in Mexico, Australia and Japan for the first half of 2006.
