Paul McCartney celebrates his 82nd birthday and prepares to tour England

Paul McCartney turned 82 on Tuesday, and family, friends, and admirers, including Julian Lennon, gave him their best wishes. "Hoppy Birdy, Uncle Paul!" Lennon wrote. "Only love… Jude x." Lennon included a clip of the Beatles' song "Hey Jude," written by McCartney to console Julian when his father, Beatles co-founder John Lennon, divorced his mother, Cynthia, in 1968. Lennon is now 61. Pattie Boyd, a British model who married Beatles guitarist George Harrison at the height of the band's 1960s fame, loved McCartney's unwavering freshness. "Happy birthday to the one and only @PaulMcCartney," she posted on X. "I recently seen an announcement for several performances later this year... How does he keep doing this?!" Harrison died in 2001, but an official Instagram account dedicated to his legacy honored McCartney with a simple "Happy Birthday" greeting. McCartney did not forget his birthday. "They say it is my birthday," McCartney wrote on Facebook. "And I'm looking forward to being spoilt rotten by my loved ones!" Even at 82, McCartney shows no signs of slowing down. The Liverpool, England native announced on Monday that he will be performing his first tour dates in the United Kingdom since 2018. In December, he will play two performances in Manchester before heading to London for a couple more events. The "Got Back Tour" concerts in England.
