The Beatles’ frontman Paul McCartney turned 82 on June 18 and from his celebratory social media post, it appears he is getting “spoilt rotten” by his friends and family. The internet was awash with birthday wishes and tributes for the icon, who recently announced dates for his upcoming performances in South America and Europe this fall.
On social media, Paul shared a snap of himself singing, guitar in hand as usual and a colorful backdrop behind him, to acknowledge his special day. “They say it’s my birthday,” his caption read, “and I’m looking forward to being spoilt rotten by my loved ones.” He still looked agile and youthful for 82 in a light purple shirt and black waistcoat as he raised his arms in the usual rockstar fashion.
Paul’s post received hundreds of thousands of likes, and his followers seized the opportunity to wish him a happy birthday and express their admiration for him. “I’m actually baking a birthday cake atm in your honor!!” someone announced. “Happy Birthday, Paul! May God allow the love that you spread around the world to come back to you doubled!” another passionately prayed.
He also received a sweet tribute from his son, Julian, whom he shares with his first wife Cynthia. “Hoppy Birdy, Uncle Paul!” Julian gushed in his post. “Only love… Jude x.” In his post, the song “Hey Jude” plays alongside a montage of sweet throwback footage.
This post followed Paul’s announcement telling fans to anticipate getting their tickets for the Got Back Tour, with the European leg starting this December in Paris, France. Performances will continue in Madrid, then Manchester before finally wrapping up in London. This marks Paul’s first time in the UK since the Glastonbury 2022 festival.
After about six decades of entertaining people all over the world as a member of the Fab Four and a solo artist eventually, Paul still has no plans of giving up his guitar just yet regardless of his age. As he declared in a 2021 interview, he does not consider himself old, hence he is not retiring.
The father of five does owe it to genetics for his good looks; however, his lifestyle consisting of a vegetarian diet, a strict workout and yoga routine, and regular sessions at the gym contribute significantly to his youthful demeanor.
