Paul Mc Cartney Biography
James Paul McCartney was born in 1942 in Liverpool, his family lived in the Allerton district, near John Lennon's house. The two met at a parish party and immediately became friends, sharing above all the same great love for music. The first thought was to found a group and the two immediately set to work to make this wish come true. In practice, it can be said that the main nucleus of the future Beatles was already formed from these distant beginnings. Paul, dedicated right from the start to composing that type of lyrical-poignant song, would become one of his unmistakable characteristics. Furthermore, as a serious musician that he is, he does not forget the pure technical-instrumental aspect of music, so much so that he soon becomes, from a simple bassist, a true multi-instrumentalist, also experimenting with the guitar and a little with the keyboards. This means that another strong point of the musician McCartney is the arrangement. On March 12, 1969, Paul married Linda Eastman and changed the direction of his life. As a Beatle, he offered fans one last great test in the album "Abbey Road" (precisely from 1969) but in December of the same year he announced his abandonment of the group. A few months later the Beatles cease to exist. McCartney begins a new career, alternating good quality solo performances with soundtracks and collaborations with other musicians. The most lasting is the one that sees him surrounded by Wings, a group he founded in 1971. In the 1980s Paul McCartney continues his successful streak and reappears live, after several years, to sing "Let it Be" in the grand finale of Live Aid by Bob Geldof (London, 1985). But the real return "on stage" will take place in 1989, with a world tour that for almost a year will show him in great shape together with excellent musicians. For the first time since the breakup, McCartney performs some of the Beatles' most celebrated songs live. In 1993, a new world tour, then the surprise: Paul, George and Ringo reunited in the studio in 1995 to work on two songs left pending by John, "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love", two new "Beatles songs" " after 25 years. His old companions still worked with him on the release of the monumental "Beatles Antology" and were at his side, in 1998, on a much sadder occasion: the funeral ceremony for Linda McCartney. In 2002 his new album was released and he undertook yet another sensational tour around the world, culminating in the concert held at the Colosseum in Rome in front of thousands of fans.
