Paul McCartney Planning 'Last Big Tour'

Music legend Sir Paul McCartney is planning a massive farewell tour, it was claimed today.

According to Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper, the former Beatle, 65, is set to announce a hundred-date stretch over two years. He will then retire from large-scale international touring to spend more time with his 4-year-old daughter with ex-wife Heather Mills, Beatrice.

A source reveals, "Paul explained that this tour will be the last big one. He wants to settle down and enjoy Beatrice's childhood.

"The tour will be the last time he performs in many parts of the world. Beatrice and his family life are going to come first. He does not want to be away for months at a time."

Paul last week played a gig to 36,000 fans in his native, Liverpool.
