Uruguay under Macca's spell
Fans were rewarded for their four decade wait last night as Paul McCartney finally played Uruguay for the first time ever. Montevideo was brought to a standstill in the hours before the show, with local restaurants, cafes and bars blaring out Paul's music and fans gathering at the stadium before the gates opened in the hope of getting the best position inside. Many of them had travelled from across Uruguay to see Paul play nearly three hours of music on an immense 80ft stage, with an incredible set list that spanned his entire career from The Beatles to 'My Valentine' from his latest solo album 'Kisses On The Bottom'.

Sir Paul McCartney Gets By With A Little Help... From A Little Friend In Uruguay
I'll get by with a little help from a tiny friend... Sir Paul McCartney enlists the help of a two-year-old fan during a concert in Uruguay
His music has been called timeless, spanning across generations.
And Sir Paul McCartney certainly lived up to his reputation when he invited a two-year-old fan to play alongside him on stage at a recent gig.
The 69-year-old former Beatle spotted two-year-old, Ichiro, decked out in an impressive replica of the costumes worn by the Fab Four on their iconic Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts' Club album cover.
The blue military-style outfit is the same colour worn by Sir Paul on the cover, and little Ichiro finished the look with a replica Hofner bass guitar -- similar to the singer's own guitar.
Sir Paul opted for a more casual look of grey jeans, blue shirt and dark sunglasses, and he struck a pose alongside the two-year-old.
The boy had travelled from Argentina with his Beatles-mad parents to the aging rocker's latest concert in neighbouring Uruguay, South America.
Security guards spotted Ichiro, and his impressive outfit, during a sound check.
They informed Sir Paul, who insisted on bringing the child on stage for a jam together.
Whether Ichiro knew quite what was happening in unknown, but he attempted to play along on his guitar and pulling rockstar poses.
The pair played a version of The Beatle's 1969 number one hit, Get Back, in front of Ichiro's parents.
Father Pablo said: 'Ichiro was a fan even before he was born. This was an incredible moment. No one is bigger than Paul McCartney.'
The singer is embarking on a tour of South America, before jetting back to the UK for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
But before the latest leg of the tour begins, Sir Paul has been in Los Angeles with his wife Nancy Shevell last week.
They were celebrating the launch of Sir Paul's debut self-directed music video My Valentine which features Oscar winners Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman.
Other celebrities at the event staged at daughter Stella McCartney's West Hollywood boutique, included Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Woody Harrelson and Chris Martin.
Walking hand-in-hand throughout the evening, it was clear Sir Paul's new song was written for his third wife Miss Shevell, 51, who he wed last year. "
