HE IS SO BAD ASS! Paul McCartney is a music legend, and one of the hardest working men in showbiz, and now he's outdoing himself by rocking out the 2012 Olympics!
McCartney confirmed rumors stating that he would be playing this summer's Olympic Games opening ceremony in London.
Speaking to BBC 5 Live yesterday (June 4), the former Beatle said: "I've been booked" and explained that he would be "closing the opening" of London 2012.
The opening ceremony will take place on July 27 in East London and has an Isles of Wonder theme. The ceremony is being staged by Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire director, Danny Boyle, who is the event's artistic director.

Yesterday, McCartney also closed the Queen's Jubilee Concert
in London with a five-song greatest hits set in front of the watching
monarchy. Playing to a crowd of 12,000 on a stage in front of Buckingham
Palace, the former Beatle topped a bill which featured artists from the
past six decades of Elizabeth II's time on the throne.
Long Live MACCA!
