Rumors are rampant that Paul McCartney will join Brian Wilson on stage for a duet his week during Wilson's London Festival Hall dates (see below).
The source for this story, Music-News.com, reports that the duet is a done deal, signaled by Wilson's inclusion of "She's Leaving Home" in his set.
But the oddest part of the story is this passage:
The pair had a good natured, if slightly fraught competition during the late 60s seeing if they could outdo the other's last album. "Sgt. Pepper's" was said to have been a contributing factor in Wilson's deteriorating mental health and original retirement.
Despite the fact that Wilson's problems actually surfaced rather early in his career, the supposed Beatle connection makes for some good theatre. But, just on the off chance that it's true, let's hope Wilson hasn't carried a grudge all these years.
