The weight of Sir Paul McCartney’s fame went a bit off-balance and the former Beatle was left practically shaken up after a mob attacked his tour bus in Mexico over the weekend. The situation turned normal for Paul and his team only after police hit the scene and shooed the troublemakers.
According to Contactmusic,
The 67-year-old star had to be rescued by police in Mexico after the youths surrounded his vehicle and jumped up and down on the roof after a concert at the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City on Saturday (29.05.10). A source said: “At first his security team thought it was just swarms of fans but when people started scaling the bus, the situation changed in a flash. Paul and the team were shaken up.” According to reports, the troublemakers left the scene as soon as they heard police sirens. The singer’s management team are now reviewing his security.
Of course, these types of situations can be real nasty for any celebrity, but as Paul says, one should be happy and willing to carry the weight of his fame. And always expect the unexpected from fans! Anyway, I’m relieved that Paul is fine.
