Nothing Has Yet Come of MGMT and Paul McCartney Collaboration

MGMT have gone public about the rumored collaboration with Paul McCartney. Gibson reports: It all started a few weeks ago, when Sir Paul McCartney mentioned that he was a massive fan of MGMT and said that he would love to work with the Brooklyn-based band.

Since that time, the indie heroes have fielded questions as to the when's and where's of this titillating team-up.

Singer Andrew VanWyngarden has now put those rumors to rest. Speaking to Spinner at Lollapalooza, VanWyngarden said, "We did play a show with him (McCartney) last summer at Fenway Park, which was really cool, but nothing has really come of the collaboration part of it. We still would really like to do that. We like Paul McCartney's songwriting abilities, his musical sensibilities. His bass playing is unreal. He is definitely my favorite bass player." - more on this story
