Today's Morning Edition music is from Paul McCartney and his song "Save Us" which is a track off his latest album "New." Today is Sir Paul's 72nd birthday. McCartney had planned to be touring the U.S. right now, but he is still recovering from a virus that he contracted while on tour in Japan. He had to cancel part of his tour of Asia. The June dates in the U.S. have been postponed until October. McCartney is now scheduled to resume performing on July 5th in Albany, New York. He's still expected to play at Target Field in Minneapolis on August 2nd.
