Paul McCartney announces 2025 ‘Got Back Tour,' Buffalo show. Get tickets
Ringo won't be the only Beatle on the road this year.
Paul McCartney just announced he's embarking on a North American 'Got Back Tour' at stadiums, arenas and amphitheaters from September through November this year.
Late in the 19-concert run, the 83-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will make his sole New York stop when he drops into Buffalo's Keybank Center on Friday, Nov. 14.

These shows mark Macca's first full North American jaunt since the first leg of the 'Got Back Tour' in 2022. On that outing, the spry octogenarian closed the tour with a gig at East Rutherford, NJ's MetLife Stadium. Ahead of that show, he played a 13-song VIP soundcheck and then, when he hit the stage that night, went all out and dropped a 40-song, career-spanning, three-hour set.
Based on our findings at Set List FM, that included timeless Fab Four favorites like 'Can't Buy Me Love,' 'Get Back' (of course), 'Blackbird,' 'Hey Jude' and the spine-tingling 'Abbey Road Suite'…with Bruce Springsteen. We're getting chills just thinking about it all over again.
There were also Wings hits, solo cuts and even a Quarrymen number. He really went all out. Heck, even Bon Jovi showed up to sing him 'Happy Birthday' since he turned 80 that evening.
More recently, Sir Paul returned to NYC and headlined a handful of intimate gigs at the Bowery Ballroom ahead of his rousing 'SNL50' set.

'Before performing 'Let Me Roll It,' McCartney said to the crowd, 'I can't quite believe we're here, doing this. But we are here, doing this,' according to The Post.
Will this be the final tour for the legendary Beatle?
While we can't say for certain, we do know that if seeing Paul live is on your bucket list, you ought to see him sooner rather than later. The voice and chops are still there but might not be forever.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Paul McCartney shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official pre-sale for the latest iteration of the 'Got Back Tour' begins Tuesday, July 15.

Paul McCartney new music
On May 16, McCartney and Barbra Streisand released their yearning duet 'My Valentine.'
The romantic song is fairly straightforward for Macca who typically tends to embrace unique sounds even when he releases Christmas music; therefore, the heartfelt standard, which he originally released in 2012 with a bit more verve on the cover-heavy jazz record 'Kisses on the Bottom,' is an oddity — a star-studded one but an oddity all the same — and must be heard to be believed.

The Buccaneers Season 3 - News, Cast, Updates, More
Now that the second season of The Buccaneers has ended and so friggin' much has happened, what happens next? Can we get The Buccaneers season 3 ASAP, please? And, honestly, a cross-over with The Gilded Age while we're at it? The show, which stars Kristine Froseth as Nan St. George, one of half a dozen American debutantes ("North American Scum" according to the LCD Soundsystem cover that plays over the credits) trying to make it in England's high society, has so many cliffhangers and loose threads that I'm not above begging for more. As of the season 2 finale, there's no word yet from Apple about a renewal or a cancellation. So we wait! Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. Last time, the show was renewed for season 2 just under a week after the season 1 finale. Spoilers for the season 2 finale ahead. The finale set up so many potential stories it's hard to keep track of them all. For one thing, Nan is pregnant and fully runs away with the Duke's heir just as he has officially announced his intention to abdicate his duties. That's one of many plot bombs that the series dropped at the end of the season. Where's she going? She just ran off into the night. Where, and how is she going to hide with this baby? Theo publicly dumped his title and Nan so that he could be with Lizzy, but I have my doubts that that relationship will last. For one thing, it came out of nowhere. For another, in Edith Wharton's book Lizzy does end up with Hector Robinson. Sure, he's kind of a villain in the show after exposing Theo's affair to the press, but if The Buccaneers is renewed for a season 3 he could be redeemed. Think about how many crazy twists and turns there were in season 2. Anything could happen. There's also Kit, Theo's "dangerous" secret half-brother OTW to take the title. Let's not forget about Guy and Paloma, either. Their wedding may have been impulsive, but Paloma clearly wants to stick around a bit longer. I'm also kind of obsessed with the plan that Conchita and Mabel came up with to sneakily help LGBTQ+ and other outcasts navigate society. I need to see that play out in season 3! The first season was released in the late fall/early winter of 2023. This season, of course, dropped in summer 2025. Since it's unlikely that the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in 2023 delayed the second season, it's probably fair to expect a similar timeline if and when the show gets a third season. The best educated guess is that The Buccaneers season 3 comes out in fall/winter 2027. Let's hope they actually get to make that happen!

Apple Cinemas and IMAX Expand Partnership with Agreement for Five New and Upgraded IMAX with Laser Locations Across U.S.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apple Cinemas and IMAX ® Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today announced an agreement for five IMAX with Laser systems in the United States — doubling the current IMAX footprint in Apple Cinemas locations. Under the agreement, IMAX will return to Philadelphia for the first time since 2020 in Apple Cinemas forthcoming Riverview Plaza – a renovation to the city's highest-grossing multiplex before it closed in 2020 that will reopen as the largest cinema in the Center City downtown area. The new IMAX location in Philadelphia is scheduled to open in 2026. The agreement will also include an additional new IMAX system in a location to be identified, as well as IMAX with Laser upgrades to three existing IMAX locations with Apple Cinemas in Maine, New Hampshire and California. The San Francisco, CA location—a favorite among local moviegoers and the site of an existing IMAX location that closed in 2023—reopened under Apple Cinemas' ownership earlier this year. All three IMAX locations in the agreement are set for upgrade before the end of 2027. 'Our expanded partnership with IMAX marks a bold leap forward in delivering next generation moviegoing,' said Siva Shan, Co-Founder of Apple Cinemas. 'White Plains set a new standard for immersive cinema, and with our marquee launch at Riverview Plaza in Philadelphia, we're raising it even higher. This isn't just growth — it's a reimagining of how audiences connect with movies in iconic cities across the country.' 'IMAX's strong performance at the box office continues to drive demand and create opportunity with exhibitors in North America – particularly strong, well-run regional theater owners like Apple Cinemas,' said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. 'A number of our locations in Suburban Philadelphia are among our best performing in the country, so we're excited to return to the city itself in a prime location with a great partner in Apple Cinemas.' Apple Cinemas White Plains in New York, which underwent an IMAX with Laser upgrade last year, is already delivering next-level cinematic experiences and has been met with strong audience response. This announcement is the latest in a banner year for IMAX, which has already signed deals for 130 new or upgraded systems so far this year, on par with the 130 signed in all of 2024. This momentum is evident in the reinvigorated North American market, where IMAX has signed agreements with nine new Domestic exhibitor partners in the last two years. The strong results this year have been powered by a knockout slate of films, with major Filmed for IMAX titles 'Tron: Ares' and 'Mortal Kombat 2,' and high-profile titles like 'Zootopia 2,' 'Wicked: For Good' and 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' still to come. The agreement doubles IMAX's footprint with Apple Cinemas this year – at the start of 2025, the duo operated three locations across the US, and, inclusive of this deal, will soon operate six locations across six different states. The new and upgraded Apple Cinemas locations will be powered by IMAX with Laser, IMAX's most advanced theater technology.

Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, dead at 76
The Blizzard of Ozz has ended. Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince of Darkness and one of heavy metal's most iconic voices, has died at 76. He died 'surrounded by love,' his family said in a statement to The Post shortly after his death on Tuesday. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' the statement from his wife and four of his six kids said. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' News of Osbourne's death comes more than five years after he announced his Parkinson's disease diagnosis — and less than three weeks after his final show with Black Sabbath in the band's hometown of Birmingham, England. The metal master was known for his outrageous antics as much as his groundbreaking hard rock achievements. The former Black Sabbath frontman bit the head off a dove during a 1981 record company meeting, and allegedly bit the head off a bat during a 1982 show in Des Moines, Iowa. Osbourne also reportedly snorted a line of ants while on tour with outrageous rockers Motley Crue in the 1980s, according to the band's documentary 'The Dirt.' In 1982, the outrageous singer was even arrested for urinating on the Cenotaph, a landmark at the Alamo in Texas. However, the exploits only fed his legendary career, both as Sabbath's lead singer, a successful solo artist and reality TV star in the MTV series 'The Osbournes,' which ran from 2002 to 2005. Ozzy origins Born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham, England, on Dec. 3, 1948, he was nicknamed 'Ozzy' in primary school. He had a challenging childhood, but music provided him with an outlet. Learning was difficult for him due to dyslexia, and the future Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee claimed to have been sexually abused by bullies when he was 11. He also recalled attempting suicide as a teen. Osbourne credited The Beatles and their 1964 song 'She Loves You' for inspiring him to pursue a music career. When he was 15, he dropped out of school and worked several trade jobs. Two years later, he spent six weeks in the Winson Green prison because he was unable to pay a fine after stealing from a clothing store. Once released, Osbourne and his friend Geezer Butler formed their first band, Rare Breed, with Ozzy on vocals and Butler on bass. The two formed Black Sabbath in 1968 with guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward. The band is highly regarded as a major influence in the development of heavy metal music,with hits like'Paranoid,' 'War Pigs' and 'Iron Man.' The group, as well as Osbourne himself, was often criticized for their music's dark and sometimes 'satanic' themes. 'When we started gigging way back when, as soon as we started playing this song's opening chords, young girls in the audience would f–king freak out,' he told NME in 2016. 'They thought we were Satan's f–king friends or something.' 'That's when the whole 'Prince of Darkness' s–t started,' he explained about the origin of his nickname. 'When people get excited about Halloween coming around each year, all I think is, 'Well, we used to have Halloween every f–king night.'' In the early days of the band, Osbourne married his first wife, Thelma Riley in 1971. Before they welcomed daughter Jessica and son Louis in 1972 and 1975, respectively, the rocker adopted her son, Elliott Kingsley, who was born in 1966. The couple divorced in 1982. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 for alcohol and drug abuse, which he later revealed felt hypocritical at the time. 'I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel betrayed by what happened with Black Sabbath,' he wrote in his 2009 memoir, 'I Am Ozzy.' 'We were four blokes who'd grown up together a few streets apart. We were like family, like brothers. And firing me for being f–ked up was hypocritical bulls–t. We were all f–ked up. If you're stoned, and I'm stoned, and you're telling me that I'm fired because I'm stoned, how can that be? Because I'm slightly more stoned than you are?' he added. That's when Sharon Arden, daughter of Black Sabbath's manager, Don Arden, decided to manage Osbourne as a solo act. He would go on to make 12 solo albums with hits like 'Crazy Train,' 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' and 'No More Tears.' Osbourne sold over 100 million albums as a solo artist and a member of Black Sabbath. Both the band and Ozzy as a solo act were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. He joined the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006. Ozzy also made headlines for his outlandish behavior — including the legendary bat-biting incident in January 1982 and the drunken peeing at the Alamo's cenotaph the following month. His successful solo career, starting with his debut album, 'Blizzard of Ozz,' was also marred by tragedy when close friend and lead guitarist Randy Rhoads was killed on March 19, 1982, in a plane crash that struck Osbourne's tour bus. Rhoads was just 25. Master of reality Four months later, Osbourne married Sharon, one of the most significant relationships of his career. The couple had three kids: Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. The family would go on to reach a new level of fame in their first-of-its-kind reality TV show. Aside from Aimee, who refused to take part in the MTV series, 'The Osbournes' invited cameras into their home to chronicle the raw rock 'n' roll domestic life of the family and their many dogs. The show premiered in March 2002 and ran for three years. Its first season was the most-viewed series in MTV history at the time. Jack later alleged his father 'hated' filming the show. 'I don't know how the Kardashians have done it for so long — it sent us crazy at the end,' Ozzy recounted in January 2023. 'I am not sorry I did it, but after three or four years I said, 'Do you know what, we're going to lose somebody because it is getting too crazy,'' he continued, adding that the show traumatized him and his family. 'There is rock 'n' roll fame, which is pretty intense, but that Osbourne level was just unbelievable. The kids paid for it. They all ended up doing drugs. Jack got clean and sober on that show, Kelly messed up on that show, I was messed up, and Sharon got cancer.' (In 2002, Sharon was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery and chemotherapy.) Ozzy reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions and rejoined the group in 2013 to record its final album, '13.' He also joined the band on its farewell tour from 2016 to 2017. The rocker struggled with heavy drug and alcohol addiction throughout his life. He was introduced to cocaine in 1971 and later claimed he took LSD every day for two years while in Black Sabbath. Follow The Post's coverage on Ozzy Osbourne's death Ozzy Osbourne was suffering from debilitating Parkinson's disease, spinal injury in years leading up to his death Ozzy Osbourne 'surrounded by love' and family when he died Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's ups and downs during their 40-year marriage Ozzy Osbourne's final Instagram post before death was touching tribute to Black Sabbath's last show Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, dead at 76 At the end of his time with the band, the musician said he 'got very drunk and very stoned every single day.' In September 1989, Osbourne's challenges got him into legal trouble when he allegedly tried to kill Sharon. He was too intoxicated to remember the incident, and Sharon ended up dropping the criminal charges against him. But a judge still ordered Ozzy to complete six months in rehab. 'We've come to a decision that you've got to die,' Sharon recalled Ozzy saying before he allegedly strangled her. 'He was calm — very, very calm,' she said in the A&E series 'Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne.' 'I felt the stuff on the table, and felt the panic button, and just pressed it. Next thing I know, the cops were there.' 'It's not exactly one of my greatest f–king achievements,' Ozzy added. He was sober for many years. But in April 2013, Osbourne said on that he had been drinking and doing drugs for the past year and a half. In February 2021, he told Varietythat he had been sober for seven years. The following August, Osbourne stated that he was 'fed up' with the staggering amount of gun violence in America and that he and Sharon would be moving to the UK. However, he later walked back his statement and said he would rather stay in the States. 'I'm American now. To be honest with you, I don't want to go back [to England],' he reiterated. 'F–k that.' The rocker canceled his 2023 tour three months before it was scheduled to kick off and declared that his touring career was officially over. 'This is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to share with my loyal fans,' he captioned the announcement on social media. He thanked and apologized to fans who bought tickets to his postponed 2019 shows, saying he was 'honestly humbled by the way you've all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time.' 'My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back onstage,' he said. 'My singing voice is fine.' 'However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy, and most recently, groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak,' he added. Despite the announcement that he was quitting touring in 2023, Osbourne returned to the stage one last time earlier this month to perform with Black Sabbath for the band's final concert in his hometown. 'I'd love to say 'never say never,' but after the last six years or so … it is time,' he told the Guardian two months before the concert. 'I lived on the road for 50-odd years, and I've kind of got used to not picking up my bags and getting on the bus again.' Osbourne also opened up about his battle with Parkinson's shortly before his death. 'You wake up the next morning and find that something else has gone wrong,' he said in May. 'You begin to think this is never going to end.' Kelly took to social media shortly before the rock star's death to dispel rumors that her famous father was dying. She posted to her Instagram Stories, 'So, there's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI.' 'And it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die. I know I'm going to die,' ' the TV personality continued. 'What the f–k is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this?' The former 'Fashion Police' host — who got engaged at her dad's final Black Sabbath show — then clarified that Ozzy is 'not dying.' 'Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he's not dying,' she said. 'What is wrong with you?' Kelly also took a moment to slam the rumors that her parents had a 'suicide pact' after Sharon suggested as much in 2007.'That was bulls–t my mum said to get attention one time,' Kelly concluded. 'And my dad's not dying. Stop.' Ozzy is survived by Sharon and their children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, as well as his children from his first marriage, to Thelma Riley, 71: Jessica, 45, and Louis, 50. Ozzy also adopted Riley's son from a previous relationship, now 59, during their marriage, which lasted from 1971 to 1982. The late star also had 10 grandchildren. Solve the daily Crossword
