Music legend Paul McCartney is adding another string to his bow in his long and winding career, with the announcement Monday of a new documentary about his life after the Beatles.<\/p>\n
“Man on the Run” is to be released in select movie theatres and streamed on Amazon’s Prime Video from February 25 and will follow the now 83-year-old UK singer’s life post-Beatles as he created his band Wings with his late wife, Linda.<\/p>\n
In a trailer released Monday, McCartney says: “The Beatles had broken up and I was thinking, ‘what’d I do now?’,”<\/p>\n
“How can I ever do anything that’s anywhere near as good as the Beatles?” he asks.<\/p>\n
“I was on my own for the first time, so I had to look inside myself. So I put a new band together.”<\/p>\n
And he adds: “I thought we should start from square one. It was a puzzle I had to unravel.”<\/p>\n
Amazon MGM said: “The film chronicles the arc of McCartney’s solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade.”<\/p>\n
It promised “unprecedented access to previously unseen footage and rare archival materials” as it seeks to capture McCartney’s “transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens”.<\/p>\n
The nearly two-hour documentary is being directed by the award-winning Morgan Neville, and will form part of a new partnership between McCartney, Universal Music Group, and Amazon featuring exclusive music and merchandise.<\/p>\n
The announcement comes as McCartney’s new book “Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run” is to be released on November 4.<\/p>\n
