Liverpool-born Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney celebrates his 80th birthday today.
Born in Walton on June 18, 1942, the singer-songwriter joined The Quarrymen in 1957 – a band which, together with John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, evolved into The Beatles. Throughout the 1960s they toured the world, made films and broke records with their chart-topping music.
And Sir Paul is still performing with the same vigour he had during The Beatles’ peak in the 1960s. This year, only a week after he turns 80, he will become Glastonbury festival's oldest ever headline act.
