As the Sixties came to a close, Paul McCartney was faced with the daunting prospect of being a solo artist for the first time but the Liverpool legend soon put together a band including his wife Linda and perhaps unsurprisingly, found success again.
Paul McCartney is to reveal how he reinvented his career after The Beatles in a new book all about "love, family and friendship" with his band Wings.
As the group began to change members, the McCartneys and Laine then released 1973's Band on the Run, a huge commercial and critical success including the top 10 single Jet and the title track.
Announcing the project, Sir Paul McCartney said: “I’m so very happy be transported back to the time that was Wings and relive some of our madcap adventures through this book.
The band's first two albums, Wild Life (1971) and Red Rose Speedway (1973) were viewed by some as being disappointing compared to Paul's work with the Beatles.
