Paul McCartney will celebrate his birthday in Saint Petersburg

McCartney will stay in one of the cottages near the Konstantinov Palace in Strelnya. 'Persburg is awfully popular in the summer, and we weren't able to book a room for McCartney at the Grand Hotel Europa,' the organizers said. 'And the extraordinary Konstantinov development deserves a boost.'

Aside from his concert, McCartney's plans for his stay are still somewhat unsettled. 'McCartney is interested in Russian artists just now and would like to visit the Russian Museum and will certainly visit the Hermitage,' the organizers said. 'And he and his wife love bicycling, so it's possible they'll do some biking in Petersburg, as they did last year in Moscow.'

The concert organizers also said McCartney's daughter, Stella McCartney, a popular designer in the West and head of the Paris-based firm of Chloe, has expressed interest in opening a clothing store in Petersburg.
