Here's why fans think Paul McCartney is embarking on a 2025 U.S. tour
The Grammy-winning musician has sent the internet into a frenzy with a cryptic photo of two guitar picks to his Instagram story — a white one with his name printed on it in red, and a blue one that reads 'Got Back in 2025' in white.
McCartney's post, shared on Wednesday, July 9, also includes a link that leads to a page on his website where fans can sign up for "information on tour dates, pre-sales and much more.'
The former Beatles musician is likely referencing his 'Got Back' world tour, its title a nod to the Beatles' 1969 hit song of the same name, which launched in April 2022 and included a two-night stint at Oakland Arena in May 2022. That tour ended in December 2024, but many believe McCartney is now planning to add more shows, particularly in the U.S. due to the colors of the guitar picks.
Since wrapping up the trek last year, the musician has only returned to the stage to perform three intimate New York shows in February ahead of his appearance on the 'Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special.'
As fans await official tour news, Bay Area fans can celebrate the musician's legacy at the de Young Museum's recently extended ' Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-94: Eyes of the Storm ' exhibition.
The collection of more than 250 photos rediscovered in 2020 among McCartney's personal archive documents the Beatles' rise to stardom from December 1963 through February 1964. The show opened at the San Francisco museum in March and is now on view through Oct. 5.
Shortly after the exhibition opened, McCartney teamed up with PETA to urge Berkeley-founded chain Peet's Coffee to drop its vegan milk upcharge by penning an open letter to its president and CEO, Erich Lauterbach. Their campaign resulted in Peet's eliminating the $1 surcharge.

Fans of Vermont Maple Cremee Will Love This New Brooklyn Ice Cream Shop
is a born-and-raised New Yorker who is an editor for Eater's Northeast region and Eater New York, was the former Eater Austin editor for 10 years, and often writes about food and pop culture. Fans of maple creemes, the iconic Vermont maple frozen specialty, will find a similarly styled dessert in Brooklyn from a new ice cream shop. Maple Creamery opened in Crown Heights at 653 Sterling Place, near Franklin Avenue, on Saturday, July 26. Maple Creamery's menu is full of vegan ice creams made with maple syrup sourced from a farm outside of Vermont. Co-founders Collin Whyte and Bailey Rollins tell Eater over Instagram direct message that the soil from the property in Vermont, where the team sources their maple — which has been running since the 1800s — 'gives the syrup a unique taste of butterscotch.' Flavors include matcha lemonade, strawberry shortcake, and, yes, maple. There are also vegan baked goods such as cookies and cakes. New bookstore cafe alert The recent Upper West Side location of the Strand debuted a new cafe this summer, as reported by West Side Rag. Cafe Fred opened at 2020 Broadway between West 69th and 70th streets on Wednesday, July 23. There's the typical cafe menu of coffee, espresso, baked goods like tahini chocolate chip cookies, and sandwiches. There are some indoor seats, with a plan to expand with outdoor seating. The name, per the publication, is in honor of Strand founder Benjamin Bass's son, Fred Bass, who was key in turning the bookstore into a New York legend. NYC bakery keeps growing in Queens Growing NYC French-style bakery Somedays is opening its fourth location this summer. The newest bakery will be found in Bayside at 212-67 26th Avenue, near Bell Boulevard, starting on Friday, August 1. The bakery's new menu items include a croissant pudding ice cream sandwich (it's really the era of ice cream sandwiches), hot dog croissants (hot dog summer continues), and elote danishes. Otherwise, expect its lattice croissants, cookies, coffee, and more. So many croissants at Somedays Bakery. Courtesy of Mike Chau

Natasha Richardson would 'swoon with love' over Liam Neeson: co-star
Elaine Hendrix is remembering her 'The Parent Trap' co-star Natasha Richardson with double the love. Opposite Hendrix's scheming Meredith Blake, Richardson — who died in 2009 at the age of 45 — played Elizabeth James, the loving mother of twins Hallie Parker and Annie James (Lindsay Lohan) in the 1998 Disney film. 7 In 'The Parent Trap,' Richardson played Elizabeth James, the loving mother to twins Hallie Parker and Annie James. ©Buena Vista Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement Hendrix exclusively told The Post that she wasn't sure what it would be like working with Richardson. A member of the Redgrave acting family and known for her Tony Award-winning portrayal of Sally Bowles in the 1998 Broadway revival of 'Cabaret,' Richardson was 'theater, Hollywood [and] acting royalty,' Hendrix explained. But on set, Hendrix, 54, recalled that the 'Maid in Manhattan' actress was 'warm and sweet.' Advertisement 7 During her interview with The Post, Hendrix recalled that Richardson was 'warm and sweet.' The New York Post 'It's no wonder she was cast as Elizabeth,' Hendrix said. 'I mean, really smart move, Nancy [Meyers] and Charles [Shyer].' Meyers wrote and directed the remake of the 1961 original, while Shyer served as co-writer and producer on the film. Before her death, Richardson had been married to fellow actor Liam Neeson since 1994. The couple were together for 15 years and shared two sons, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28. Neeson, 73, is now reportedly dating his 'The Naked Gun' co-star Pamela Anderson. 7 Richardson and Neeson were married for 15 years before her death.

Anytime someone mentioned her family, Hendrix said, 'she would swoon with love. They were madly in love, and she was crazy about her kids.' That kind of devotion to her family, Hendrix explained, made Richardson's death 'all the more tragic' — and her performance in 'The Parent Trap' all the more meaningful. 'I'm so glad that her being was captured in this movie,' she said. 'It's such a fitting memory of her, such a fitting tribute to her.'

Richardson died in March 2009 from an epidural hematoma following a skiing accident in Quebec, Canada. The late star met Neeson in 1993 while working on the Broadway production of 'Anna Christie.' Five years after her death, Neeson recalled visiting his wife in the hospital during a 2014 interview with Anderson Cooper on '60 Minutes.'

It's — I don't know if you can hear me, but that's — this is what's gone down.' Richardson was later flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she ultimately passed away. Neeson was suddenly a single father to their two young children, who were just 13 and 12 when they lost their mother.

Jason Momoa shaves beard for 1st time in 6 years for 'Dune 3'
Jason Momoa is changing up his look again, shaving his beard for the first time in six years for his return in the upcoming film "Dune: Part Three." The actor can be seen shaving outdoors in a new Instagram video post and shares his reaction along the way. "Damn it! I hate it," Momoa says in the video. "I think it's been about six years, maybe a little bit more, since I did 'Dune.' What was really special about that is, that is when I started and I started launching Mananalu," he continues, referring to the reusable bottled water company he launched in 2019. "Only for you, Denis," he adds, a nod to "Dune" film series director and co-writer Denis Villeneuve. Momoa played Duncan Idaho in the 2021 "Dune" film and is expected to reprise the role for the third installment. The cast of "Dune: Part Three" is aiming to begin filming soon, and the film is slated for a potential 2026 release. Momoa's 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa was also recently announced as a new cast member of "Dune: Part Three." Momoa, a father of two, told Extra what he thought about his son following his footsteps into the entertainment world. "It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him," Momoa said. "I couldn't do what he's doing at his age," he added. "There's no way I could sit in a room with ['Dune: Part Three' director] Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding s--- down with Denis Villeneuve."
