Sir Paul McCartney confirms he is in talks to play at London 2012 Olympics

Sir Paul McCartney yesterday said he is in talks to take part in London 2012 and “could easily” be involved in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The former Beatle, 69, who performed at Buckingham Palace for the Golden Jubilee in 2002, is going to a meeting about the Games today.

He said: “I am seeing the guy because there is something they want me to do. I might be doing something in the Olympics. I won’t know until then.”

The Mirror reported last July that Macca had been approached to headline the opening ceremony.

Sir Paul, promoting his new album Kisses On The Bottom in London, added he was a “big fan of the Queen”.

He said: “I think she’s great and does a great job. People say, ‘Ugh, the monarchy and all that’, but what are you going to get in return?

“David Cameron? I’m not sure I want him to represent all of Britain. So if I get asked I could easily do it.”
