He became
used to what became known as Beatlemania throughout the 1960s - a fan
frenzy characterised by high pitched screaming and hysteria.
And
it seemed not too much had changed for Paul as he left
the Daily Show studios in New York City on Monday night.
Paul was mobbed by fans offering him album covers to
sign, with the Beatles album sleeve for 1969 LP Abbey Road a firm
favourite.
Ever
generous with his time, the star took a pen and signed a multitude of
autographs in rainy Manhattan with an assistant holding am umbrella over
the star.
Sporting
a padded black jacket, jeans and black shoes, Sir Paul chatted away to
the mob who clamoured for a signature behind crowd barriers in the
cold.
The
star had made an appearance on The Daily Show to promote his new song
Hope For the Future, which he composed for video game Destiny - the song
appears on the game's end credits.
According to Rolling Stone,
the track was recorded in London's Abbey Road studios with a 120-piece
orchestra that was conducted by George Martin's son Niles.
The
video accompanied for the track sees Paul immortalised as a
hologram, as he returns after 25 years out of the music business and 34
years since he reconciled with The Beatles.
The publication reports that Hope For The Future will be released a a single, but details have not yet been announced.
Paul arrived in the city two days earlier along with his 53-year-old wife Nancy who looked chic in a beige coat and leggings.
During
his TV interview with Stewart, Sir Paul said he would be attending
former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr's induction into the Rock And Roll
Hall Of Fame and he is 'excited' about it.
Ringo recently revealed that Paul was the one who told him about the award - The Beatles were inducted as a band back in 1988.
'It came out of the blue. I didn't expect it,' he told Rolling Stone. 'I got the call from Paul two weeks ago. He said, "This could happen. Do you want to do it?" I said, "Sure."
He
added: 'It means recognition. And it means, finally, the four of us are
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame even though we were the biggest pop
group in the land. You know that won't look funny in black and white.'
