Shortly after his statement, Paul McCartney's producer, Jackie Lombard, put an end to the rumors. “He did receive an invitation… It’s a great honor for him,” she confirmed to BFMTV. However, she immediately added: “The production denies live participation. There is no recording planned either.” In other words, even if the idea of McCartney performing live at Notre-Dame has delighted more than one, the constraints of his schedule, linked to a tour in Europe, make this performance impossible. The 82-year-old singer will give concerts on December 4 and 5 at the Défense Arena in Paris, before leaving quickly.
