Calls off gig

LONDON: Sir Paul McCartney, Britain's best-known living pop star, lost his voice and had to suspend his first tour of his native land in 10 years. "I woke up this morning with virtually no voice," ex-Beatle McCartney said. The singer-composer went hoarse after his opening night on Saturday before an audience in Sheffield and had to disappoint fans looking forward to a second, last night appearance in the northern English city. His repertoire includes 22 Beatles songs — almost twice as many as his old band ever played during any single stage show in Britain. — AFP
