Sir Paul McCartney will become the fourth former-Beatle to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame when the tribute is unveiled in a ceremony on February 9.
McCartney’s star will be in front of the Capitol Records building at 1759 N. Vine Street, alongside John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who received their stars in 1988, 2009 and 2010, respectively. |
This is the latest in a long line of awards and honours bestowed upon McCartney, including 14 Grammys, the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Kennedy Center award, the 2008 Brit award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, the Gershwin Prize For Popular Song and, of course, the knighthood, which he received from the Queen in 1997.
The day after McCartney receives his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he will be named the MusiCares Person of the Year in recognition of his creative achievements and many philanthropic activities.
