Paul McCartney turns 80 on Saturday and a week later becomes the oldest headliner to play at the Glastonbury Festival. There’s even been talk of the ex-Beatle being made a lord before the year is out.
LONDON – Between his years with the Fab Four, his work with Wings and his solo career, McCartney has written or co-written more than 50 top 10 singles.

McCartney, Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr would become synonymous with mobs of screaming fans, mop-top haircuts, and an image of four men strolling over London’s Abbey Road at a zebra crossing.They are also the best-selling band in history, with their record label EMI estimating all-time sales of more than a billion discs and tapes.
Linda, a renowned photographer and animal rights activist, died of breast cancer in 1998. After 29 years of marriage, McCartney described the loss as “total heartbreak”. And his top-streaming song on Spotify, above any Beatles song, is his 2015 collaboration with Kanye West and Rihanna, “FourFiveSeconds”.
