He said hello, now he says goodbye.
It turns out that former Beatle Paul McCartney is not going to play Target Field after all in what would have been the two-season-old baseball stadium's first concert on Sept. 1.
"There will be no Paul McCartney show at Target Field in '11," Twins President Dave St. Peter said Friday afternoon in a tweet. "Scheduling challenges for Sir Paul. Still hoping to bring concert to TF soon."
On Monday, a major concert-tracking website broke the news that the "cute" Beatle was bringing his "On the Run" tour to Minneapolis. The tour is scheduled to open July 15-16 at Yankee Stadium and visit other major league venues as well.
McCartney has made indoor appearances in the Twin Cities, but the only time he has done a show under the stars in the metro area was at the old Met Stadium in August 1965, with John, George and Ringo.
McCartney also played the Twins' other home, appearing at the Metrodome in 1993.
