Sir Paul McCartney's Glastonbury warm-up gig has sold out in under an hour of being announced.
The former Beatle, 80, will perform a set at the Cheese and Grain entertainment venue in Frome, Somerset, from 17:00 BST on Friday.

Earlier on Thursday the not-for-profit venue revealed that Sir Paul would be playing a set there.
