McCartney Liverpool gig 'to go ahead'

An historic performance by Paul McCartney in his hometown of Liverpool, England will go ahead - despite fears the concert would be cancelled over financial issues.

The former Beatle's gig at the city's Anfield football stadium has been green-lighted after Liverpool City Council gave £1.7m (€2.1m) to his company, McCartney Productions Ltd (MPL), to stage the event.
