I've seen Macca in concert on several occasions. ^:)^
@j_w_pepper. Historically McCartney's post-Beatle band "Wings" ended in 1981. By 1980, he had grown tired of the Wings "format" and indeed many think that his January 1980 drug bust in Japan was a subconscious attempt to not have to go through with another tour. And while I don't believe that he's ever directly spoken about the issue from this angle, many think that Lennon's December 1980 murder was the final nail. In short, he wanted to move on and work with other musicians on an album-by-album basis.
McCartney and Tom Jones' paths have crossed on a couple of occasions over the years. For example, originally Paul gave Tom a demo of The Long and Winding Road but his record label didn't want to release it as a single. Then, in 2012 Jones' covered (I Want To) Come Home - a song that Paul wrote for the Robert De Niro film EVERYBODY'S FINE. The song really connected for me emotionally back then as I dealt with my mother's illness.
1980's McCartney II album was released as a solo effort, and while Denny Laine did contribute to 1982's TUG OF WAR and 1983's PIPES OF PEACE albums, they were also considered solo projects. Interestingly, McCartney's current backing band has been with him since 2001.
