Watch Paul McCartney #8211; Dance Tonight

Paul McCartney has been approached about closing the London leg of this weekend’s Live Earth concerts at Wembley Stadium.

The former Beatles star – who has yet to confirm the news in today’s Daily Mirror – is believed to be in last minute talks with the events organisers about appearing at the July 7th event.

It’s reported that former US President Al Gore, who has curated the consecutive Live Earth concerts across the globe, has personally approached McCartney after discovering that he is an animal rights campaigner and a fan of Al Gore’s much acclaimed climte change film, ‘An Inconvienient Truth.’

A source told the paper: “It's true that Paul has been asked to take part. He said the cause is very close to his heart and he has been impressed with what Gore has been doing to highlight it, but he's still deciding."

Should McCartney not confirm his appearance, Madonna will likely close the event. The singer has already penned a special song, entitled, 'Hey You,' for the concert.

It’s a total MUST. If there’s not a Beatle there, while there is still a Beatle on this earth then how can the Earth be in any way ’Live’????????
