Paul McCartney reveals he uses a teleprompter to remember old Beatles songs

Paul McCartney recently said that he sometimes has to use a teleprompter to remember the lyrics to old Beatles’ songs. The pop music legend opened up on the Smartless podcast recently about his struggles to stay in the moment on stage and recall those tunes.

“Sometimes I’ll be doing a song, like Eleanor Rigby or something, and I’m on autopilot,” the 78-year-old McCartney said, according to NME. “And I’m starting to think, ‘Oh, what am I gonna have for dinner? Maybe you won’t have the soup but maybe you’ll just go for the main course’.

“Then I go, ‘Stop!’ because I’m singing Eleanor Rigby! I’ve separated myself not only from Paul and fame, but a couple of bits in my head are going in different places.”

But that doesn’t always work. McCartney said he sometimes has to turn to technology to help him stay on script.

“Sometimes that breaks down and I forget the song,” he said. “I have a teleprompter.”
