Macca to open London Olympics

THE NIGHT BEFORE: Paul McCartney will headline the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London next July 27, the Telegraph reported over the weekend. Sir Paul told Olympic organizers he's "up for" doing the show but detailed plans and choice of songs have yet to be finalized. The Rolling Stones reportedly declined an offer to perform and Led Zeppelin are also long shots after Robert Plant said he wasn’t interested. A music industry source told the Daily Mirror: "The hope was to have the cream of British music all in the lineup, but it now looks like Macca will be joined by some younger stars on stage. But of all the people you would want, McCartney is number one. He is the ultimate showman and guaranteed to get the Olympics off to a great start.” (8/2a)
