Paul McCartney is set for the last few shows on the U.S. leg of his ‘Got Back’ tour, and the legendary singer-songwriter is talking about it in a new Q&A on his website.

He said, "When you come back after three years you get a bit more nervous than you normally would, because you’re just thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, have I forgotten how it goes?’ It takes a little while until you start to think, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve got this!’ and then your nerves go away."
