Paul McCartney Rocks Comerica Park

DETROIT (WWJ) - Well, he's 69 now and Paul McCartney is still going strong.  And, after more than three decades ... he's back in Detroit.  The former Beatle will be in concert at Comerica Park Sunday night.

Speaking live on WWJ, Tom Wilson, President of Olympia Entertainment, says McCartney's backstage requirements are not too unusual.

Wilson says McCartney's team is "meticulous," ensuring that they deliver a great show every single night.

"As everybody knows, Paul became a vegetarian 30 yrs ago, with his late wife, Linda,  and that continues, so a lot of requests for the crew and for Paul it's vegetarian meals," said Wilson.

Wilson has seen a number of McCartney shows, including several at the Palace of Auburn Hills.  He expects it to be a great show.

Wilson told WWJ that if there are thunderstorms, than the show will be halted ...  but if there's rain, we'll all get a little wet, and maybe that'll feel good after this week.
