£1 paid to McCartney for Olympic Gig!!!!

At Danny Boyle's Olympic extravaganza popular stars such as Sir Paul McCartney have been paid £1 to performed.

Mike Oldfield, Dizzee Rascal and Emeli Sande are the other major super stars beside McCartney who have been paid very little for their efforts.

In the Olympic stadium they all intentionally accepted to play for free, but the addition of the £1 figure was to make the contract binding.

A spokesman for games organiser LOCOG confirmed the £1 fee which had been necessary for contractual purposes, although the acts had been happy to perform without any payment.
