The studio sessions come as Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr are completing a video autobiography on the legendary music group. That previously announced project is planned as a television series to be shown worldwide in 1995.
The closest possible thing to a Beatles reunion will happen next month, The New Yorker reported, when McCartney, Harrison and Starr go to work in the studio. The other Beatle, John Lennon, was murdered in New York City in 1980.
\ Sure, celebrities like to keep their privacy by traveling under fake names. But, as reported in US magazine, some are pretty outlandish:
Singer Michael Bolton; road name: William Shakespeare.
Actor Billy Baldwin; road name: Joe Casella (his character in "Three of Hearts").
U2 lead singer Bono; road name: William Butler Yeats.
\ Communist Vietnam, getting used to capitalist investment, saw another side of the West on Sunday night when Ho Chi Minh City staged its first big-name rock concert since the Vietnam War. Canadian chart-topper Bryan Adams played before 3,000 or more young Vietnamese and foreigners at a suburban theater.
\ Fans loved country music star Tammy Wynette at her first performance since being hospitalized with a severe infection. Appearing with the Tucson (Ariz.) Symphony Orchestra on Saturday night, she presented about two-thirds of her usual song list.
