LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. News of Paul McCartney (83) is breaking. The former Beatle of the Fab Four will release a new album, "The Boys Of Dungeon Lane," after five years. Fans are already excited! Especially since the first single, "Days We Left Behind," which has already been released, seems like a retrospective of his personal beginnings in Liverpool. In a total of 14 songs, Paul will musically interpret his time before The Beatles. McCartney gave two concerts in Los Angeles in recent days, leading fans worldwide to speculate about a possible tour.

A long-forgotten time that Paul McCartney now finds himself frequently reminded of

...it becomes a theme in his new album – as Paul reveals on Instagram. Paul himself says that he can only write about what he has experienced, and that is his childhood and youth in Liverpool. His family, his free time, during which he, for example, watched birds, and so on. In his songs, Paul looks back and is sometimes surprised by everything he has experienced.

It seems like a dream to him, which he has now set to music and shares with his listeners. With John Lennon and George Harrison before their time together as the Beatles, with his parents, and with the city of Liverpool, so many memories are connected that Paul was able to draw on a wealth of inspiration for his songs.

The album also includes declarations of love from Paul to Nancy: love songs that he addresses to his wife, Nancy.

A testament to the musical history of our time:

Fans will listen to it, reflect on it, and—depending on their age—reminisce about "THE OLD DAYS."

Munich. Cirque du Soleil is back in town, more precisely, at the Theresienwiese. Even from afar, you can see the three large, snow-white tents, which shine brightly in the twilight and evening, resembling igloos. (Photo) The large mobile circus tent can accommodate around 2,500 guests, where this year's Cirque du Soleil show is being performed under the motto "Alegria - in new splendor." Clowns and acrobats are at their best, the music plays, and the show is staged like a theatrical production. The audience quickly becomes part of the action, which offers both incredible and hilarious elements. Homepage: www.cirquedusoleil.com
