SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY - MCCARTNEY THRILLED BY PETER AND GORDON REUNION

SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY has given folk duo PETER AND GORDON a boost as they launch a long-awaited comeback, by urging fans to catch one of their reunion shows. The former BEATLE penned the pair's smash-hit 1964 debut A WORLD WITHOUT LOVE, and has been linked to PETER ASHER and GORDON WALLER throughout their career, having once dated Asher's actress sister JANE. Peter And Gordon split in 1968 but reunited last year (05) and are now touring together again - and MCCartney couldn't be happier. In a statement, he coos, "What the world needs now is Peter and Gordon to sing their songs and remind us all of the fab years they are from. "I'm very glad to hear that they have got together after these many moons and are going to help to make a world without love into a love-filled planet."
