NEW YORK, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- British rock 'n' roll icon Paul McCartney said he's excited about his Tel Aviv concert because it will be the first time he performs for an Israeli audience.
"Me and the band are really looking forward to this one. You never quite know what to expect from a new audience so it's going to be a totally new experience for all of us -- the band and the audience together," McCartney said in a statement. "It's the first time I have ever been to Israel, or really that part of the world, so I am very interested to look around and look at the situation, just personally. I am going to be interested as a tourist just to look around and meet the people."
