LONDON (Reuters) - Former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are coming home to celebrate Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture in 2008.
McCartney is headlining a concert at Anfield Stadium, home of Liverpool Football Club, while Starr is joining forces with Eurythmics member Dave Stewart for "Liverpool The Musical."
"It's going to be a great year," McCartney promised in a statement on Thursday detailing plans for the northern English city's cultural bonanza.
"I'm very proud of the city and I look forward to welcoming you all and showing you a good time," McCartney said.
He is headlining next June's concert which will be broadcast live to a worldwide audience. The full line-up is to be announced later.
The Liverpool musical was described as "Stravinsky meets Hip Hop" with an eclectic cast ranging from Ringo Starr to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Who knows? Something might come out of this. Not a reunion, but rather a future colaboration perhaps.

It would just be great to see them on stage together - obviously not as The Beatles!

wow, lucky people-who-can-actually-go-to-Liverpool... *wistfulness* Haha, I've heard about that Liverpool '08 project... NZ's TV3 was talking about it in one of its Etertainment Wraps that they put on msn. It was this one: www.tv3.co.nz/VideoBrowseAll/EntertainmentVideo/tabid/312/articleID/35767/Default.aspx#videoThe Liverpool '08 bit starts 1 minute into the video. Haha, Paul does a funny "ta-da" movement, and Ringo goes "By the way I'm Ringo... in case you've forgotten!"
