Beatles star Sir Paul McCartney is hard at work on new music for an unannounced video game.
"I was asked whether I could imagine doing something like this, and I found it exciting. Besides, it is a fascinating market. These days a new computer game sells much better than a CD," he said.
"And you reach an entirely different target group. This way many young people will probably listen to my music for the first time while playing a videogame."
Bets on the table. We're going with EA Sports.

Magical mystery tour... a psychedelic simultaneous rhythm (tv) / quiz (tablet) game for the Wii U, which tests the player's multitasking capabilities and knowledge of rock trivia. More than that, and I'll be positively surprised.

It could be a medieval action game...they could call it 'A hard days Knight'
Chances are it'll just be some educational game with Ringo doing the voice over called 'Help! (Me learn my A, B, C's)'
Although it could be worse, he could be working with Team Ninja, the makers of Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, on a title called 'Come together'

I've always said it, ste......The Beatles are dying in order of talent.
Lennon went first then Harrison.
By that reckoning, McCartney will live to be 154 and Ringo will go on til he's 351.
