Paul McCartney has criticised the Italian government for their “outrageous” decision to implement a policy that prevents music fans from receiving a full refund for Italian shows that have been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.McCartney’s ‘Freshen Up’ tour was due to stop at a number of cities in Europe this summer, including Naples (June 10) and Lucca (June 13).
The live dates were, however, cancelled last month as a result of the ongoing health crisis.McCartney spoke to disgruntled fans on Facebook yesterday (June 10) to voice his dismay over the Italian government’s policy, which rules that fans will only be offered vouchers (that are valid for 18 months) to compensate for any cancelled gigs.
