Paul McCartney is scheduled to begin his first European tour since 2004, kicking it off with a December 2 show in Hamburg. Dates follow in Arnhem, Paris, Cologne, Dublin, with the tour ending in London on December 22, the singer's only UK date of the year.

Paul McCartney's tour begins three weeks after the release of his Good Evening New York City album, which features music from McCartney's three nights of performances in July 2009 at New York's Citi Field (formerly Shea Stadium) site of The Beatles' landmark 1965 concert.

The September releases of The Beatles' digitally remastered albums and The Beatles: Rock Band game have led to a new wave of Beatlemania. The same month, Walt Disney Studios and The Beatles Apple Corps Ltd. announced a deal to remake The Beatles' 1968 animated classic film Yellow Submarine; in early November, director Robert Zemeckis said he hoped to enlist Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in the project.

In other McCartney news, on November 16 the US Library of Congress announced Paul McCartney as winner of the third Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. On November 19, ringostarr.com announced that Paul McCartney would perform on two songs for Starr's upcoming CD release, Y Not, due out January 12, 2010.

European tour dates:

December 2: Hamburg, Color Line Arena
December 3: Berlin, O2 World
December 9: Arnhem, Gelredome
December 10: Paris, Bercy
December 16: Cologne, Koln Arena
December 20: Dublin, The O2

Robert Zemeckis Would Like Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney to Be Part of Yellow Submarine Remake

November 6, 2009 10:57 a.m. by Andrew Winistorfer

Hollywood's quest to ruin every okay older movie has caught up with Beatles nostalgia, as Robert Zemeckis, the guy behind that awful looking A Christmas Carol and other awful-looking movies, has announced plans to remake Yellow Submarine, an animated movie The Beatles didn't even lend their voices to. Zemeckis would like to change that last bit, saying he'd like Ringo and Paul to be involved:

"We haven't gotten the word yet on the two surviving Beatles, whether they're interested in doing it or not," the director, producer and screenwriter told MTV.
"The Beatles have always been a great source of inspiration for me. I think it's a perfect example of a movie that can be re-envisioned in the digital cinema and be absolutely beyond spectacular. I call it, 'Yellow Submarine: The Digital Trip!'"

I'm not sure why the remaining Beatles would want to hook up with the director of Polar Express to make another movie that proves the existence of the Uncanny Valley, but hey, they did put out a videogame this year, and no one thought that would happen. [Spinner]
