Following the breakup of The Beatles, Paul McCartney missed the camaraderie and the band Wings was born.
Formed in 1971 with his wife Linda McCartney and guitarist Denny Laine, Wings achieved six No.1 singles during its 10-year tenure.
And four decades later their best hits are set to be released on in a new anthology album across vinyl, CD, Blu-ray and digital.
The self-titled anthology will chart the music Paul made after the break up of The Beatles after finding himself adrift, having parted ways with his lifelong collaborators and closest friends.
In accompanying photographs for the reinvention album, Paul is seen alongside former wife Linda, who tragically passed away from cancer in 1998 aged 56, and guitarist Denny, who died in 2023.
Over the course of a decade, the band released seven studio albums and charted an ambitious journey that blended musical experimentation with global success.

Rather than rely on past glories, Wings forged their own identity, often in the face of critical scepticism and frequent lineup changes.
The album announcement comes hot on the heels of the news that a brand new The Beatles album will also be released, featuring demos that have never been heard before as well as a remastered documentary.
Speculation mounted after the legendary rock band’s official social media channels teased an announcement last month.
Posting on Instagram, it shared a series of images which each contained a number from one to four, though there was no caption for the post.
It was later confirmed Anthology 4 would feature 13 previously unheard of demos for and sessions from the band, which is made up of Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr and the late John Lennon and George Harrison.
The news comes ahead of a brand new book and documentary series launching this November, with streaming giant Disney+ behind the show.
Bosses have remastered The Beatles Anthology, which is now being billed as The Beatles’ Story, In Their Own Words.
It will also include a ninth and new episode which will feature Sir Paul, Ringo and George in behind-the-scenes footage from when they originally made the series.

All movies are set to be released in April 2028.
It has the official thumbs-up from Sir Paul and Sir Ringo, as well as the estates of their late bandmates Lennon and Harrison – but fans might be hoping that their rougher edges and racier antics are not glossed over.
The Beatles were certainly no angels – nor prudes – when honing their sound during pill-fuelled all-night performances in Hamburg’s notorious Reeperbahn district between 1960 and 1962.
George Harrison later recalled losing his virginity to a woman there as a teenager in one of their grotty backstage bedrooms behind a porn cinema, applauded by his bandmates John Lennon, Paul McCartney and then-drummer Pete Best.

The Beatles, which are the most influential and best-selling band of all time, was formed in 1960 in Liverpool.
Sir Paul, 83, shows no signs of slowing down after nearly six decades onstage, as he recently gave fans a glimpse into how he keeps his energy high.
The music icon makes a surprise cameo in the upcoming Spinal Tap sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, hitting theaters this September.
Joining Elton John, 78, McCartney appears alongside the legendary fake band Spinal Tap, featuring Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), for one final concert in the mockumentary.
