    Concern for Macca's online welfare began to grow when he randomly started tweeting a bunch of random words.

    They are all words you can put the word 'New' in front of.

    The first single, also called "New" went straight up on YouTube.

    It is produced by Mark Ronson.

    The song itself is nostalgic for mid-period Beatles, with Ronson's trademark retro sheen, which should sound even more retro, but in fact sounds exactly as you would expect Mark Ronson producing Paul McCartney in 2013 to sound.

    That's no bad thing though. Other hip young things on "New" include Paul Epworth, Ethan Johns.
