Paul McCartney reportedly in talks to play Israel

Paul McCartney is reportedly in talks to play a gig in Israel, which would end a forty year ban on such shenanigans. The Beatles were barred from performing in the country in 1965 because authorities feared their music would corrupt the youth, although the surviving members of the band were invited to take part in Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations earlier this year. The Sun now reports that McCartney is set to play in from of 250,000 in Tel Aviv in September. A source said: "Paul is desperate to put Israel on the map of places he's performed".
