Paul McCartney adding stadium gig to tour?
The rumors have all been pretty accurate when it comes to Paul McCartney's new Up And Coming Tour. If so, that means that East Hartford, Connecticut just might be the next stop announced on the new tour. Examiner.com reported that according to sources, McCartney will announce a stop at East Hartford's Rentschler Field.
No date has been announced for the former Beatle's prospective gig at the 40,000 seat stadium -- which is the home field of the University of Connecticut. Among the other acts that have rocked Rentschler Field are the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and the Police.

Why didn't I stay safe?'"
