The thing about Paul is that quite often, because he is such a big megastar, all of the people he surrounds himself with are on the payroll and a bit frightened to speak their mind and be honest with him.
On one forum, a fan asks: ‘Would you rather have him touring all the time or saving his voice and making records more regularly?’ Another writes: ‘Yes, touring is ruining his voice (along with ageing) and, selfishly, I personally wish he’d take more care of it, rest up and save it for future recordings.’
A third says: ‘I think age and all those years of smoking… did more damage to his voice than anything else.’ Another suggests: ‘What I find distracting in his voice is his shortness of breath.’
A source close to the current tour told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Paul’s voice breaks often in every show. The song Maybe I’m Amazed seems to be at the top of everyone’s list as the worst offender. It’s dog awful.
