From Yahoo, April 17, 2012:

ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — Paul McCartney has turned down the offer for a presidential tour of Paraguay’s government palace in the capital of Asuncion.

President Fernando Lugo tells reporters he invited McCartney to “to visit the palace of government and take a tour of historic places in the city, but he did not accept” due to tight schedule.

Lugo doesn’t hold it against the former Beatle. He said he hoped Paraguayans turn out for McCartney’s Tuesday night show. Organizers say all 30,000 tickets have been sold.

The two year old boy had traveled with his parents all the way from Argentina and made himself known to the security team and was invited up on stage by Sir Paul himself. Ichiro even had his own miniature version of Sir Paul’s iconic Hofner bass guitar and performed a version of ‘Get Back’. (AP Photo/2012 MPL Communications/MJ Kim)
