Huge new statue unveiled in Liverpool to celebrate Paul McCartney

A new statue has been unveiled in Liverpool to celebrate Paul McCartney’s 80th birthday.

The Beatles Story teamed up with instrument manufacturer Höfner to celebrate the music legend’s 80th year with the launch of the art installation. The Beatles-themed exhibition has marked his milestone year with the unique Insta-worthy statue, which resembles a gigantic 1962 Höfner bass guitar.

The installation celebrates the ground-breaking career of one of music’s greatest composers - a career that is still going strong, as he proved with his mammoth Glastonbury headlining set over the weekend. The new statue is in the entrance to the award-winning attraction and will extend the birthday celebrations further into Paul’s 80th birthday year and prolong the spotlight on charity Nordoff Robbins.
