Paul McCartney's brother has shared how life in a Liverpool suburb helped shape the Beatles.
Performer and visual artist Mike McCartney grew up alongside brother Paul in 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool- and the address has since become iconic. The 78-year-old explained how growing up on the terraced street helped lead to the formation of the famous quartet - with John Lennon and Paul McCartney penning some of the Beatles biggest hits in the home, such as ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ wrote in school books on the front room floor.
The McCartney family moved to the address in 1956, and shortly after, mum Mary died of breast cancer. In an interview with the ECHO, Mike explained how this event, and tough life on Forthlin Road helped shape his career, as well as that of brother Paul.
