McCartney turns down palace tour

Paul McCartney has turned down the offer for a presidential tour of Paraguay's government palace in the capital of Asuncion.

President Fernando Lugo told reporters he invited McCartney to "to visit the palace of government and take a tour of historic places in the city".

However, he did not accept due to "a tight schedule".

Mr Lugo does not hold it against the former Beatle whose 30,000 capacity show was sold out.
