Have you heard? Paul McCartney is back on the screen!
He just released the trailer for his new documentary, Man On The Run! You’ll able to watch the full doc on Prime Video as of February 27!
This isn’t about The Beatles. It’s what came after. Wings. Linda. Starting from scratch. Making something new.
In the trailer, McCartney is blunt. “I fell very depressed, but I was very lucky, because I had Linda.” That’s the foundation. Behind-the-scenes footage, rare clips, unreleased music. Wings touring. The grind. The chaos. The victories.
He addresses the fracture with John Lennon. “We’d had arguments and all of that, but we’d loved each other all our lives.”
The doc tracks Wings from the rocky debut Wild Life to the triumph of Band On The Run. The story unfolds: struggle, craft, stage glory.
Last year, McCartney released Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run. Over 100 photographs. Stories never told. The madness of life on the road. He even recalls sending baby poo to a music journalist after a bad review.
Yeah. That happened.
On starting fresh after The Beatles, he says: “It felt crazy at times… But as we got better I thought, ‘OK this is really good’. We proved Wings could be a really good band. To play huge audiences in the same way The Beatles had… and have an impact in a different way. It was a huge buzz.”
Wings have been digging into history. 2024 saw the release of One Hand Clapping, a live-in-studio album, and a five-decade edition of Band On The Run.
Man On The Run isn’t just a documentary. It’s a look at ambition, chaos, and what it takes to rise again. McCartney doesn’t explain it. He shows it.
