Beatles - Mccartney Rejected From Floyd Classic

Former BEATLES star SIR PAUL McCARTNEY was dropped from PINK FLOYD's rock classic DARK SIDE OF THE MOON album - for being "too reserved".

The CAN'T BUY ME LOVE singer auditioned to guest star on the 1973 seminal work, but was rejected after failing to be more adventurous in a questionnaire about "mortality".

Drummer NICK MASON says, "We recorded Dark Side Of The Moon at Abbey Road. Paul and WINGS were working on their RED ROSE SPEEDWAY album.

"Our bassist ROGER WATERS had drafted a series of questions about madness, violence and mortality and I wrote them on a set of cards. One read, 'Where is the dark side of the moon?'

"We invited whoever we could find to record their answers.

"It was very brave of Paul to take up our invitation but he was too reserved. We didn't use any material from their session."
