Macca wants London Eye

Sir Paul McCartney is hoping to rename the London Eye in his honour to promote a new DVD, it has been claimed.The Beatles legend releases "The McCartney Years" later this year, and wants to use one of the UK's most famous landmarks to support the media campaign.The plan may also include a one-off concert on the iconic wheel structure, which could be decked out in the artwork for the video compilation, according to a 'source'."The whole idea came together after a series of meetings in Macca HQ. The artwork for the DVD cover is a stylised close-up of Sir Paul's eye - and that got the team thinking."It occurred to them that the other most famous eye in the world was, of course, the London Eye and they immediately tried to work together", the 'source' explained."It's ambitious but his people are determined to make it happen and Sir Paul may even perform a one-off show in one of the pods to make it even more special."Macca loves London and to be the face and name of the Eye - albeit just for a short time - would be a massive honour that he would cherish", he concluded."The McCartney Years" is scheduled for release in November. There are currently no details of the tracklisting.
