Synopsis "Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run"

A landmark account of Paul McCartney’s triumphant musical reinvention in the 1970s and the rise of one of the decade’s most iconic bandsAs the Sixties came to a close, Paul McCartney was faced with the daunting prospect of being a solo artist for the first time. Wings’ ascension to the top of the charts with classic albums including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars and At the Speed of Sound, along with the band’s stadium-filling live shows, would prove to critics and fans that not all great acts are impossible to follow. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run is a rousing, stereophonic celebration of the songs, collaborations and performances that would shape the soundtrack of the late 20th century.

Drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with McCartney and numerous key players in the band’s orbit, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run weaves together the improbable trajectory of Paul McCartney and his newly formed band (featuring co-founding members Linda McCartney and Denny Laine) across the technicolor 1970s until their dissolution in 1981.

Sir James Paul McCartney es un músico, compositor y escritor británico cuya trayectoria lo convirtió en una de las figuras más influyentes del siglo XX. Además de su papel histórico en la música, ha desarrollado una producción literaria verificada que incluye Blackbird Singing, una recopilación de poemas y letras seleccionadas, junto con sus libros infantiles Hey Grandude! y Grandude’s Green Submarine, donde combina humor y ternura con su sensibilidad artística característica.

A lo largo de su carrera ha recibido numerosos premios, incluidos múltiples Grammy y distinciones internacionales que celebran su impacto creativo. Aunque no es el autor del libro Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, sí ha inspirado numerosas obras y estudios sobre su legado. En sus propios libros, McCartney muestra una voz íntima y curiosa, alejada de la figura icónica, explorando recuerdos, imaginación y la necesidad de contar historias con un toque lúdico.
