London, Aug 21 : Sir Paul McCartney has invited his new flame Nancy Shevell to accompany him on his world tour.

The former Beatle had originally planned a boys only tour to celebrate his single status.

However, following the success of his and Shevell's Route 66 road trip through the US earlier this month, Macca asked his new love to accompany him around the world.

"Paul is excited about going on tour. Initially, he wanted to go it alone with just his band and road crew with family flying out every now and again but now he wants Nancy to be with him all the way," the Daily Express quoted a source, as saying.

"He says he had the time of his life on the road trip with Nancy. I think it really sealed things for him. He enjoys Nancy's company so much," the source added.

Macca is due to hit the road later this year and is booked in to venues across the US, Britain, Canada and Australia.
