Paul McCartney might be worth hunderds of millions of dollars, but he still likes to use the bus!

The Beatles legend says it makes him feel “grounded” when he travels incognito on public transport.

“It grounds you, you know? It’s a balance thing,” he said. “I’m just one of the people on the bus. I’m the famous one but I’m behaving normally.

“Really, it’s important.”

Paul, 66, said he was on a New York bus when one of the women recognized him and asked him if he was who she thought he was. “So I said: ‘Look, honey. Don’t shout across the bus. Come and sit here!” he said.

McCartney recently denied reports that his next tour in 2010 will be his last.

“All I can say is that I’m not retiring,” he said. “It’s like ‘Paul is dead’. ‘No, I’m not,’ is all I could say. I did talk about retirement in one sentence in one story and only to say ‘No way, Jose.’ But someone must have only read part of that one sentence.

“As long as people want to come and hear me, I’ll probably be doing this. It’s just so easy to start rumors.”
