Paul McCartney is featured in the new issue of GQ, modeling clothes — some of which designed by daughter Stella — while photographed by older daughter Mary. McCartney, who has been quarantining on the family's estate in Sussex, England, was asked if he feels the post-Covid world will see people changing: “I think in the short-term, yes, people will act differently, because it’s going to be difficult to just pop along to a football match or a concert or the theatre, so those things are going to change us all.”
He went on to say, “I suppose I’d like to think that people will simply be kinder. There will be a bit of that, of people thinking a bit harder about things, but at the back of it all is the thought that everyone just thinks, 'Oh, sod it,' and goes back to their old ways.”
Regarding what live performances will possibly look like, McCartney admitted, “I don’t know. I don’t think anyone knows. As y'know, we were going to do Glastonbury this year and it started to look doubtful because no one knew if the crisis was going to be over by June or not and then obviously that was cancelled. But the summer is when we do concerts — that’s pretty much what we do, y'know? Playing to people gathering together. How you can socially distance that I do not know. The same with theatre, cinema, everything. It’s just thrown everything into doubt. Does this mean the end of live concerts? I don’t know.”
