Paul McCartney | Born: 1942

One of the most famous musicians of all time, Sir Paul McCartney still manages to amaze his fans, just as he did for decades. He began his career in 1957 when he met John Lennon and joined his band, The Quarrymen. Eventually, the band became The Beatles, which became a legend in the music world. Beatlemania became the term used to describe the band’s fame during the time. Countless songs from the band are considered classics and are still sung to this day. Although the band disbanded in 1970, McCartney found success as a solo artist.

Today, McCartney still sings Beatles classics in his concert tours. Aside from composing songs, McCartney has also dabbled into music composition, particularly orchestral music. His most recent project was McCartney III, which was released in 2020, to critical acclaim. Throughout his life, he was given credit for his contributions to both music and art.
