Sir Paul Mccartney - Sir Paul Mccartney's Early Stage Fright Almost Made Him Quit

The All You Need Is Love hitmaker had played the wrong guitar chords during one of the band's first-ever gigs and MCCartney admits the mistake made him consider abandoning his dreams - because he worried he might never overcome his jitters.

He tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "The first time we ever played - pre-Beatles - I screwed up. So I never played lead guitar again. When the Beatles did Wembley (Arena) for the first time (in 1963), I felt sick. I thought, 'I’ve got to give this up'."
