THE TOUR

In 1993, Paul McCartney and his band embarked upon The New World Tour, spanning almost the entire year and almost the entire globe. This tour featured a controversial pre-concert film (starting in the U.S leg of the tour), which was shown before all of the concerts and had graphic animal test footage in the film. The tour incorporated painted stage sets (at the time the world's largest, measuring 16,400 square feet), projections, and promotional material designed by a regular McCartney collaborator, the artist Brian Clarke.

The 1993 World Tour was Paul's last tour for nine years, after his wife and band member Linda McCartney, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. It was to be Linda's last tour during her lifetime, before she died in 1998 at the age of 56.

McCartney's touring band consisted of himself, wife Linda McCartney, Hamish Stuart, Robbie McIntosh, Paul "Wix' Wickens and Blair Cunningham. The final North American stop, in Charlotte, North Carolina was broadcast live across the United States, with some songs replaced by commercials by the Fox Television Network. This was McCartney's final tour of the 20th century. 

The New World Tour was well-received by audiences and showcased McCartney's enduring charisma and musical talent as a performer. It was praised for its extensive setlist and the energy McCartney brought to his performances.
