Paul McCartney teases new book about Wings

Paul McCartney is looking back on the '70s with a new book, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run.

Scheduled for release on 4 November this year, the book features an in-depth personal account of his post-Beatles band, as told by McCartney, key players and family members.

"I'm so very happy to be transported back to the time that was Wings and relive some of our madcap adventures through this book," said McCartney in a statement.

"Starting from scratch after The Beatles felt crazy at times. There were some very difficult moments and I often questioned my decision. But as we got better I thought, 'OK this is really good.'

"We proved Wings could be a really good band. To play to huge audiences in the same way The Beatles had and have an impact in a different way. It was a huge buzz."

Wings was formed in 1971 by McCartney following the dissolution of The Beatles the previous year, the release of his self-titled debut album one week later, and the arrival of 1971's Ram album with his wife, Linda.

Recruiting Moody Blues co-founder Denny Laine and drummer Denny Seiwell, the band continued until 1981, releasing a total of seven studio albums, including four consecutive records that topped the Billboard 200.
