McCartney smashes box-office record with sell-out Vegas show

Paul McCartney has set a new world record after selling out all 4,000 seats for his upcoming gig at Las Vegas's Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in an astonishing seven seconds.

Tickets for the Beatles legend's April 19 concert at the resort's The New Joint venue went on sale on February 14 - and newly-released statistics suggest the gig was the hottest ticket around, selling at a rate of nearly 600 seats a second.
