Paul McCartney is turning 79 next year but despite his age, he is still very active in the music industry. However, it was said that the Beatles star may be forced to retire now and end his long career due to memory loss.

Based on the report, Paul McCartney has lost his memory that he could not even sing his famous songs without the help of a teleprompter during live shows. The singer was said to have started losing his memory bit by bit for years but it has become worst so he needs to retire now.

Paul’s alleged bad “brain farts”

As per the article that was published by Globe titled “Paul’s Battling Brain Beetles,” it was claimed that Paul McCartney is relying on a teleprompter so he can sing and finish his song without a mistake. This was because his “brain farts” have gotten so bad in recent years.

It was alleged that he can only finish a song with a little help from a teleprompter. Without it, he could not recall the lyrics of Beatle’s popular song pieces anymore. The famous singer was said to have admitted about his bad memory in a previous interview.

“Sometimes I’ll be doing a song like Eleanor Rigby or something, and I’m on autopilot,” McCartney allegedly said. “Anf I’m starting to think ‘Oh, what am I gonna have for dinner? Maybe you won’t have soup but maybe you’ll just go for the main course. Sometimes that breaks down and I forget the song, I have a teleprompter.”

The source added that memory loss is actually a problem that Paul McCartney has been dealing with for a while now. “Paul says he can’t remember the words or tunes to many of the songs that he made famous,” the source shared. “He says there are just too many of them and he has to relearn some of them before he tours.”

The truth about Paul’s dwindling memory

While it is true that Paul McCartney is already very old, having a teleprompter during a performance is not a sign of memory loss at all. In fact, even younger singers use this as a guide during shows. Gossip Cop pointed out that this device is already a common fixture on stage so the story is totally false.

The publication added that Paul McCartney has always been professional in his gigs and he has not made big mistakes while performing. His mind is intact and he can clearly remember and knows most of his songs. This is just a made-up story.
