Paul McCartney

We might not hear much rock in the Top 40 these days, but the genre can still pay pretty well if you're lucky enough to have the right audience. Just ask Paul McCartney, Elton John and Bon Jovi, all of whom cracked Forbes' most recent list of the highest-paid musicians on the planet.

Much has been made of Paul McCartney's decision to reach out to some unexpected collaborators for his latest album, 'New.' But as he revealed during a recent interview, he still seeks advice from his oldest songwriting partner.

Paul McCartney's 'New' is one of the most highly anticipated rock records of the year, but the former Beatle isn't hedging his bets when it comes to promotional efforts. In fact, he gathered a bunch of familiar faces for the album's second single, 'Queenie Eye.'

Paul McCartney's busy week continues. First he showed up for a couple of impromptu performances. Then he made a new video with some famous friends. Oh, and he also released an album -- his best in 30 years.

"What sort of morons do McDonald's think Beatles fans are?" a spokesman memorably asked.

Paul McCartney is one artist who doesn't need to record new material to stay top of mind.

Paul McCartney is set to release 'New,' his first album of original music in six years, on Oct. 15. He's just released the track listing, complete with a breakdown of which producers worked on each of the album's 12 songs.

The last time Paul McCartney released a new song (not counting the two originals that showed up on 2012's standards collection 'Kisses on the Bottom'), he was getting all reflective. Even the title of his last album of all original songs, 'Memory Almost Full,' mused on the passing of time and growing old.

As we reported back in June, Paul McCartney recorded a track with Italian electronic musician Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, who works under the name the Bloody Beetroots. The song, 'Out of Sight,' has just been released. You can hear the song below.

He's 71, content and wealthy beyond most people's wildest dreams, but that doesn't mean Paul McCartney is going to slow down any time soon. In a new interview, he says that he isn't going to hang up his rock n' roll shoes.
