McCartney rocks his Ukrainian fans

London (ANI): Sir Paul McCartney did not let torrential downpours spoil his Ukrainian fans Saturday night, and performed before an audience of more than 350,000 people in Kiev's Independence Square. The former 'Beatle' rocked the audience with an astonishing 33 hit songs. Given that abundant amounts of rain had reduced the capital's streets to waterways, it seemed uncertain whether McCartney's concert would go ahead. However, the show did take place, though a couple of hours later than its scheduled time. McCartney was seen speaking the local lingo, and waving Ukraine's national flag. "I've waited a long time to play this song here," British tabloid The Sun quoted McCartney as telling the crowds.
