About

Macca fulfilled a 25-year-old promise when he appeared on Parkinson.

The TV presenter agreed to be pictured on the cover of the 1974 Wings album Band On The Run if the Beatles star returned the favour by being a guest on his chat show.

Sir Paul said: “I owed him one. It’s been a long time coming but this is it.”

Landing the interview was a coup – it was the former Beatle’s first major TV appearance since the death of his wife Linda the previous year.

After Parky was kind enough to appear on the cover of Band On The Run 25 years ago, I owed him one – it’s been a long time coming, but this is it.
