Paul McCartney headed for Tel Aviv!



[T]he former Beatle will perform the biggest pop concert in Israel's history on September 25 in Tel Aviv.

The show is expected to [include] two vegetarian kitchens at the show's location for the anti-carnivore musician.

McCartney, 66, has invited his girlfriend, 47-year-old Long Islander Nancy Shevell, to accompany him on the tour. The couple just finished a monthlong road trip across the famed Route 66 in the United States, where they were spotted by shocked fans at campsites, gas stations and motels.

The concert comes 43 years after The Beatles were booked and then denied the proper permits to perform in Israel. Ambassador to Britain Ron Prosor sent a letter to McCartney and the other surviving Beatle, Ringo Starr, earlier this year inviting them to perform in Israel for its 60th birthday.

It took them long enough to appreciate their art.
