While the decade may not have been particularly busy for the world in general, with no thanks to a pandemic, Paul McCartney found himself abandoning a world tour, postponing his Glastonbury slot and suddenly with a lot of time on his hands, which he put to good use to create the third of his self-titled McCartney albums.
