musicJun 18, 202627574

Sir Paul McCartney turned 84 on June 18, 2026; he was born June 18, 1942, at Walton Hospital in Liverpool. Tributes included archival photos, renewed playlists tied to Steve Turner’s Beatles '66 Jukebox 1966, and the opening of McCartney’s 'Eye of the Storm' photo exhibition in Aix-en-Provence showcasing images from 1963, 64. McCartney remains one of the best-selling songwriters ever, and the birthday attention underscores his ongoing influence across music, photography and popular culture.

Happy Birthday to this legend! 🎊🎉🎈 There are way too many to pick, but "Maybe I'm Amazed" hits hard, so if going with solo hits, that would be my choice. Highly recommend this book where he discusses the lyrics in depth to many of the masterpieces. 💓

I Saw Her Standing There Let It Be Live And Let Die Band On The Run Too many to choose. Leave them for others to list.

I always thought I liked George's songs more, but when it comes down to it, it's Paul's songs that really hit for me. Probably Oh Darling.

Paul McCartney is 84. Here’s Macca trying to sell me a baby back in the 70s. I didn’t have £10 on me at the time.

Marc Maron interviewing Paul McCartney: When you see The Stones, is there a part of you that wishes you'd kept the band together?' 'Yeah but unfortunately two of mine are dead.’

Happy Birthday Paul McCartney. In 1964 you were ‘living for the day’. I’d wager you still are in 2026.

Happy 84th Birthday to Paul McCartney. Is it really 63 years ago since my brother played I Wanna Hold Your Hand on our Bush Dansette at max volume? Apologies to those passersby who had heart attacks or lost several of their fillings as a result.
