'Out There' tour delayed by former Beatle's illness

The iconic Beatles front man has turned 70, and plenty of people are sending the youthful septuagenarian best wishes.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Paul McCartney confirmed Monday that he will "reluctantly heed medical advice" to rest longer to fully recuperate from the virus that forced the postponement of his recent dates in Japan and Korea, and that will push back his United States tour dates.

The June 22 Jacksonville concert is now scheduled for October 25.
