Talking of former Beatles, Paul McCartney says he was on the verge of turning his back on his music career, but after performing in New York in aid of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the response of those affected by the events to his music gave him back his passion for song writing: "9/11 was really the beginning of it all. Before that I was wondering if I wanted to tour again, dabbling a bit, then 9/11 happened. It reawakened something in me. In one way it led to everything that has happened since, the tour of America, Live 8, all that."
