McCartney: 'No plans for Dylan duet'

Paul McCartney has insisted that he has no plans to collaborate with Bob Dylan in the near future.

Dylan has said that he would like to work with the former Beatle, with reports suggesting that McCartney would be interested in such a project.

However, McCartney told The Daily Telegraph: "That's a newspaper thing. He just said some very complimentary things about me in some interviews and I love him.

"I think he's a great poet and writer so I've always admired him. I don't rule it out and I admire him. But we're not the kind of people who would ring each other up."

Dylan recently went unspotted on a £16 tour of the childhood home of McCartney's late bandmate John Lennon.
