Sir Paul McCartney wants to perform a gig in China, three years after announcing he would boycott the country over its animal rights record.


The former Beatle said it is the one country he dreams of performing in.He recently performed his first concert in Israel, 43 years after the Beatles were banned over fears they would corrupt the nation's youth.

Asked during a radio interview where he would like to play next, Sir Paul replied: "I've never played in China, I'm kind of interested to see what that's like. There's lots of places I've never played, but I think China would be the answer."

In 2005, the singer announced he would never perform there after watching undercover footage of dogs and cats being killed for their fur.

Sir Paul, a staunch vegetarian, said at the time that the practice was "like something out of the dark ages". After viewing the BBC film with his then wife, anti-fur campaigner Heather Mills, he said: "I wouldn't even dream of going over there to play, in the same way I wouldn't go to a country that supported apartheid. This is just disgusting. It's just against the very rule of humanity. I couldn't go there. If they want to consider themselves a civilised nation, they're going to have to stop this."
