Lima, Mar. 21 (ANDINA). Negotiations to bring ex-Beatle and music legend Paul McCartney to Peru are going well. Long-awaited show in Lima is expected sometime in the second half of May.

Businessman Jorge Fernandez and partner Jorge Ferrand said there is a strong possibility that Paul McCartney may be performing in Peru, depending on the confirmation of a Latin American tour to Brazil, Chile and Peru.

This morning, twitter and facebook messages delighted Beatles and Macca fans, after Colombian businessman Juan Ospina told Radio Caracol that McCartney is not likely to perform in Colombia.

“Unfortunately, he will not arrive in Colombia, but I just got the scoop that he will be playing at Monumental Stadium in Lima and the National Stadium in Chile. Then, he will perform two shows in Maracana stadium”.

Fernandez and Ferrand are negotiating with South American entrepreneurs to consolidate this long-awaited concert, so that they can cover all transportation costs of technical equipments for the show.
