Beatle gets back to spiritual home

LONDON - Tens of thousands of fans will flock to giant stadiums later this year to watch pop icon Paul McCartney in his latest tour.

For a small group of devotees of the former member of the Beatles pop band, Thursday turned out to be a magical and unforgettable experience, watching the 76-year-old singer perform live at a "secret gig".

Just 175 fans were given free tickets for a performance when McCartney returned to the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool, hailed as the birth place of Beatlemania that swept the world in the 1960s.
