Paul McCartney turns 80 and Liverpool is celebrating The Guide Liverpool

Sir Paul McCartney is celebrating his 80th birthday on Saturday June 18 after an incredible 65 years in the music business.

Recognised around the world as one of the greatest musicians of all time, Macca was just 15 when he first met John Lennon and joined The Quarrymen at that legendary St Peter’s church fete gig in Woolton.

He went on to change the face of pop culture with The Beatles, winning millions of fans and influencing countless other artists over generations – as well as banking a huge personal fortune estimated this year to be $1.2billion!

He’s also racked up an impressive trophy cabinet of awards including eight BRIT Awards, 18 Grammys, two American Music Awards, one MTV Video Music Award, one MTV Europe Music Award, one Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, one Classical Brit Award and two Q Awards.

Macca was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice – once as a Beatle in 1988 and again as a solo performer in 1999 – and in between those two honours he was knighted by the Queen, becoming Sir Paul in 1997 for his services to music.

Now reaching the big 8-0, with no sign of slowing down – he’s headlining the main stage at Glastonbury on Saturday June 25 - he’s no stranger to Liverpool, regularly popping back to LIPA for Q&As with students and graduation ceremonies.
