Mccartney To Premiere Linda Concerto
ECCE COR MEUM has taken MCCartney eight years to write, as he stopped working on the concerto after marrying ex-model Mills in 2002.
The piece is dedicated to wife Linda who died of breast cancer in 1998, and will premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on 3 November (06).
MCCartney says, "It'd be nice if everyone did everything you want them to do but it's never going to be like that. You've just got to understand: these are the rules, so let's deal with the reality of it. Life goes on.
"I'm very proud of it and I want people to hear it. So I have to get out and talk about it but I was thinking to myself, 'Why do I do this? Is this just an ego trip?' Then I realised that I do it because I get phoned up by people asking me to do it.
Asked why he abandoned the concerto in 2002, he says, "I wanted to (continue), but I was married to someone else, it wasn't appropriate.
"Linda runs through this piece, it was written with her in mind."
