Paul McCartney made his first solo public appearance in over two years on Friday (November 5th). “Macca,” who last month was in Cleveland to induct Foo Fighters into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was on hand in London at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall to discuss his new book, The Lyrics: 1956 To The Present.
McCartney was joined by Paul Muldoon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, poet and editor of The Lyrics, along with journalist, broadcaster and writer Samira Ahmed, who moderated the event.
The Lyrics: 1956 To The Present includes McCartney's Beatles songs written with John Lennon, and features “a treasure trove of material from McCartney’s personal archive — drafts, letters, photographs — never seen before, which make this also a unique visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.”
