His assets were reinforced in 2024 due to his “Got Back” tour, which was completed in December with appearances in Manchester and London. In addition, in 2024 he received a significant financial survey by Beyoncé's cover of 'Blackbird', a song that he wrote about the US citizens' rights movement in 1968.

The song made its debut on number 27 on the Billboard 100 and received 14 million official streams and 7,000 downloads in his first week. Paul originally composed the song as a tribute to the Little Rock Nine, a group of students who took part in the purely White Little Rock High School in the All-White Little Rock High School in 1957, reports that the Echo Liverpool.

With regard to the texts of 'Blackbird', Paul revealed in an interview with the Californian radio station KCRW from 2002: “I was in Scotland and played on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of” You only waited that this moment was created “, you know, the struggle of black people in the southern states, and I used the symbolism of a blackbird.

“It's not really about an blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic.” In his book “Many years of Nowe”, together with Barry Miles, Paul was deeper into the meaning of the song. He explained: “I had a black woman rather than a bird.

“These were the days of the civil rights movement, which looked at all of us passionately, so this was really a song from me to a black woman and experienced these problems in the States: 'Let me encourage me to keep trying to keep your faith, there is hope.”

“As it is so often in my things, there was a veil instead of saying 'black woman who lives in Little Rock' and is very specific, she became a bird, symbolic so that you could apply it to your special problem.” In December Paul played two shows in the O2, with the former bandmate Ringo Starr had a special appearance in one of them. When Ringo entered the stage at the gig on December 19, he called: “I had a great night tonight, it was a great show.”

Just last week, Paul asked the Prime Minister with 400 industries to strengthen British creativity and economic growth by being pinched against the copyright infringement by AI.

In a public lawsuit that was aimed at Keir Starrer to protect the copyright, the “life elixir” of their professions, a variety of stars, filmmakers and creative power package, presented their argument for changing data (use and access).
