Unofficial reports suggest that McCartney could be releasing his new album imminently. According to Australian TV news show The Daily Edition, the follow-up to 2013’s New is set to be released on Friday, June 15, though there had been no official confirmation.

In January, McCartney announced that he was working on a new studio album with Foo Fighters/Adele producer Greg Kurstin.

McCartney was in Liverpool with  James Corden. The pair were accompanied by a camera crew, filming the Car Pool Karaoke segment for Corden's US TV show The Late Show.
