By Sewell Chan AND Andy Newman

Well, it sounded like intriguing tabloid fodder, but it may not be true. Today, both Newsday and The Daily News report that Paul McCartney, the former Beatle, with the blessing of his children, intends to marry Nancy Shevell, a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s governing board. But a person close to Ms. Shevell and familiar with her thinking on the matter told The Times on Monday that the report of a marriage proposal by Mr. McCartney was not true.

Highlights of the week

Radio 2 celebrates the 40th-anniversary of The Beatles final public appearance which took place on 30th January 1969 on the roof of the band’s Apple Corps London headquarters in Mayfair’s Savile Row in I Hope We Passed the Audition (Tuesday 27th, 10.30pm). The title of the programme quotes John Lennon at the event which followed tense rehearsals, with George Harrison allegedly feeling unappreciated and Yoko Ono speaking on a disgruntled Lennon’s behalf. The band nearly broke up, but months later recorded Abbey Road, and performances from the rooftop concert ended up on the Let It Be LP. Featuring input from Yoko Ono, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, photographer Ethan Russell, engineer Alan Parsons, technician Dave Harries, and the policeman who followed orders to shut down the session.
