Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool on 18th June 1942. He was raised in the city and educated at the Liverpool Institute. Since writing his first song at the age of 14, Paul McCartney has dreamed and dared to be different. In the sixties, as the writer and co-author of their greatest songs, he changed the world of music with The Beatles. Legendary albums include: Please Please Me, Revolver, Help!, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and The White Album. Paul has continued to push boundaries over the last 30 years, first as a solo artist, then with Wings (with albums that included Band On The Run and Wings At The Speed Of Sound) and following that as a solo artist again, with recent highlights including 2013’s global hit album NEW. 2014 saw Paul release Hope For the Future, the title track for the record-breaking video gameDestiny.

Equally renowned for his live performances as he is for his songwriting, Paul McCartney has performed sold-out concerts to millions of people all over the world winning rave reviews along the way.  In the space of two years his latest Out There tour, which commenced in 2013, has seen him perform over 80 shows in 18 different countries to almost 3 million people.

A freeman of The City Of Liverpool and Lead Patron of The Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts, Paul McCartney was appointed Fellow of The Royal College of Music in 1995 by The Prince Of Wales. In 1996 Paul McCartney was knighted by H.M. The Queen for his services to music.
