LOS ANGELES, Nov 8, (Agencies); In the midst of his performance, Paul McCartney remained attentive to his devoted fans. During a recent episode of his A Life in Lyrics podcast, the iconic former Beatle shared a memorable incident from one of his band Wings' concerts. He recollected a moment of concern for an elderly woman in the audience while they were delivering an electrifying rendition of the 1973 James Bond theme, "Live and Let Die," which featured intense pyrotechnics.

At the age of 81, the British rock legend vividly described his unease upon spotting a "very old" woman, whom he estimated to be around 90 years old, standing in the front row of the concert venue. He was aware of the planned on-stage "explosions" that were a part of the performance and couldn't help but worry about her safety. As McCartney put it, "In the early days when we did it, there was an explosion. I noticed when we started it, there’s like a 90-year-old woman, very old, in the front row. I suddenly go, ‘Oh, we’re gonna kill her.'"

"Live and Let Die" held a significant place in Wings' setlist during that time, and McCartney always enjoyed seeing the audience's surprised reactions to the pyrotechnic display. However, he had no intention of alarming the elderly woman. He humorously remarked, "I can’t stop the song and go, ‘Cover your ears, love,’ so I look away and ‘boom,'" describing his efforts to spare her from the sonic assault.

Fortunately, the outcome was a pleasant surprise. McCartney shared, "I look back to her, and she is loving it!" The woman in question evidently enjoyed the electrifying performance.

Fans can look forward to the full episode dedicated to "Live and Let Die" on his A Life in Lyrics podcast, scheduled for release on Nov 15. Additionally, Beatles enthusiasts recently had the delight of hearing the band's final song, "Now and Then," which features all four legendary members — McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr. This long-awaited release marked the first unheard work from the band in nearly three decades.
