Although there were fears that Sir Paul McCartney’s concert in Liverpool, England would be canceled over financial issues, the city’s Anfield football stadium has reportedly been given the green-light after Liverpool City Countcil gave $3.4 million to MPL, McCartney’s company to stage the event. The BBC had reported that had the city not agreed to the deal, it “was likely to result in the concert being cancelled”.

Apparently, the $3.4 million covers costs such as stage and lighting hire, license fees and insurance for the show, however, event organizers are reluctant to confirm that the Capital of Culture-organized event will definitely go ahead.

Creative Director of the Liverpool Culture Company, Phil Redmond, told the BBC:

“I am as sure as anybody in my position would be at this stage, but I’m not going to come out here and say to MCCartney’s people, ‘This concert will happen no matter what the cost.’ I’m not going to say, ‘This concert will go ahead regardless,’ because at the end of the day there always comes a line when you say this is not worth it.”

Yikes!
