SIR JAMES PAUL McCARTNEY

James Paul McCartney, first rose to fame as the bassist, pianist, guitarist, singer and songwriter for The Beatles. One of McCartney’s greatest song, “Yesterday” which is once listed as the most covered song in history with over 3,000 versions existing and the most successful popular-music composer and recording artist ever with sales of 100 million singles and 60 gold disks. He got involved in a long term relationship with actress Jane Asher, married Linda Eastman in 1969, adopted Linda’s daughter (from her first marriage), and they went on to have three other children together. They remained happily married until Linda’s death. After the Beatles broke up, Paul immediately began a solo career, literally driving around Britain in a van, looking for somewhere to perform with his makeshift new band. That band developed into WINGS and produced a number of notable singles, including “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Band On The Run” and “Live An Let Die”. On April 1990, Paul performs one of the largest stadium audience in history when 184,000 paid to see him perform at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Paul received an honorary Doctorate of Music from the University of Sussex, the first rock musician ever to receive Chile’s Order of Merit for “services to music, peace and human understanding”, and the first recipient of the Swedish Polar Music Award (“Nobel prize for music”). On March 11, 1997, Paul suddenly Sir Paul McCartney, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and in 1999 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. After Linda’s death in 1998, Paul continues to release albums (Run Devil Run, Wingspan, Driving Rain), as well as campaign for the groups Greenpeace and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He married Heather Mills in June 2002, under her influence, campaigned against landmines and donated substantial sums for the cause. On October 28, 2003, they had their first child. But in April 2006, the couple announced they were separating. Paul McCartney continues to tour throughout the United States and the rest of the world.
