Paul McCartney has announced three UK tour dates for later this year.
The former Beatles star - who married girlfriend Nancy Shevell in London yesterday - is to play ten shows across Europe as part of his 'On The Run' tour, as well as his first ever gig in Abu Dhabi.
McCartney will start his UK shows in London at the O2 arena on December 5, before moving on to Manchester's MEN on December 19 and Liverpool's Echo Arena on December 20.
He said: "Playing live is one of the most exciting parts of my job. I'm really looking forward to the next run of shows and to playing places that I have never played before with my band.
"I'll be starting with my first ever UAE concert and from there I'm on the run across Europe and Russia, before finally getting back to my hometown of Liverpool in time for Christmas."
McCartney added: "My audiences seem to get better each year and the band and I love the buzz and feedback that they give us. I can't wait to see you all for some wild nights of rock 'n' roll and partying"
Tickets for the shows will go on general sale on October 13 at 9am.
