He called off the Japan leg of the tour and a South Korea show after falling ill on May 16 and later postponed a number of US dates.

Paul McCartney spent six days in a Tokyo hospital being treated for the viral infection.

Before his illness, Paul McCartney had last performed on May 1 in Costa Rica.

He opened the show at the Times Union Centre with Beatles’ hit Eight Days a Week and dedicated a song, My Valentine, to wife Nancy Shevell.

Paul McCartney has 19 performances scheduled for the US, including at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, where the Beatles played their final full concert in 1966.
