Rock stars get together to make McCartney covers album

Kiss, Billy Joel and the Cure, are amongst many other legendary rock stars that are going to contribute to an album of Paul McCartney cover songs.

  The Beatles star is planning to put together a compilation of his best-known tracks as performed by some of his favourite musicians, according to British newspaper The Sun.

  He has hand-picked the acts he wants to take part in the project, and even reportedly arranged for his son James to duet on The Cure's contribution to the record.

  A source tells the newspaper, "James was over the moon at playing with The Cure. He's always been a big fan. They all went into a studio in Sussex and hung out together."
