Paul McCartney is set to announce a massive farewell tour, according to reports.
The UK press is claiming that the former Beatle is soon to confirm a hundred-date stretch over two years, after which time he will retire from large-scale international touring to spend more time with young daughter Beatrice.
The Sunday Mirror quotes a source close to McCartney as saying: "Paul explained that this tour will be the last big one. He wants to settle down and enjoy Beatrice's childhood.
"The tour will be the last time he performs in many parts of the world. Beatrice and his family life are going to come first. He does not want to be away for months at a time."
