McCartney to take Mills on tour with him

Sir Paul McCartney is planning to take his former wife Heather Mills on a 14-month tour with him.

The music legend is desperate to keep their daughter Bea close by when he travels the world for a series of new gigs.

Macca has told his friends that paying for Mills and Bea to join him on the tour would be the most convenient arrangement. However, his pals have warned him that the plan could simply lead to further animosity between them.

"He realises he has to do some kind of deal with Heather, and to keep disruption to a minimum he has come up with this idea," a source told the News of the World. "He feels that letting Heather fly to him where they are touring could be the best way."

The insider added: "Many of those close to him are not sure this plan will work. Heather is so unpredictable that anything could happen."
