A pop star is giving away free beer to his fans at dozens of pubs around the UK and Ireland, to celebrate his 60th birthday.
Beautiful South and Housemartins singer Paul Heaton is dipping into his own pocket to offer customers at 60 pubs a drink on him today, Monday, May 9, to mark his 60th birthday. Paul is footing the bill at 60 pubs that he says have some significance to him.
He had planned to celebrate by going on a cycle tour and performing at the 60 pubs but the idea was scuppered by recording delays caused by the pandemic. Instead, he is putting cash behind the bar at the 60 pubs and is asking fans to raise a glass in his honour.
