MCCARTNEY CONCERT BOSSES 'FIX THE WEATHER'
Organizers of Sir Paul McCartney's historic 3,000th gig made sure the event in St. Petersburg, Russia went off without a hitch last night -- by fixing the weather.
Weather reports in the country had predicted the concert would be a wash-out thanks to heavy rain due to hit the city the same time as singer McCartney.
So concert bosses spent an incredible $36,000 to hire three jets to spray dry ice on the clouds gathering above the city to prevent a downpour spoiling proceedings for the 100,000 fans.
And the 61-year-old singer was very impressed with their efforts.
A source says, "He thought it was a fantastic idea. The dry ice helps hold the water within the clouds."
