McCartney won't mark 'Sgt. Pepper' anniversary


Paul McCartney has reportedly decided not to mark the fortieth anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with any particular significance.A source close to the singer believes the former Beatle is just too busy to contemplate an event to celebrate the occasion, which sees what is arguably the Beatles' most famous record ever hit a landmark date. Most of his McCarteny's time in the foreseeable future will be taken up promoting his new album Memory Almost Full.A host of bands, including Oasis and the Kaiser Chiefs, have entered the studio recently to record their own versions of songs from the album."While it would have been nice to see Paul and Ringo Starr do something to mark the occasion this time around, Sir Paul is simply going to be too busy promoting his new album to make a big deal out of it,” the source told the Daily Express. "While he is obviously extremely proud of Sgt Pepper's, it's more rewarding for him to be concentrating on making sure his new album's a commercial success."
