Is Paul McCartney’s birthday today (June 18). He turned 82.
Macca took to his social media pages to post a note acknowledging his big day and sharing a bit about his birthday plans.
“They say it is my birthday and I’m looking forward to being spoilt rotten by my loved ones!” he wrote.

Members of McCartney’s family, as well as some of his famous musical friends and admirers, also posted shared birthday messages and wishes for Paul on their socials.

Paul’s son, James, wrote, “Happy Birthday Dad. I will always love you. You are a guiding light that shows me how to move forward. You love me, I love you and that’s all that matters.”

Paul daughter Mary, posted the message, “Happy Birthday Dad x with all my love x Mary.” The post also features a photo montage set to McCartney’s classic 1970 solo song “Maybe I’m Amazed.” Among the pics are images of Paul with Mary, James, and his daughter Stella; with his late first wife, Linda; with his current wife, Nancy; and with Bruce Springsteen.

Julian Lennon, shared a message that reads, “Hoppy Birdy Uncle Paul! … Only Love… Jude x.” It also features a series of adorable pics of McCartney spending time with Julian when he was a young boy, set to a backing track of the classic Beatles song “Hey Jude.” Paul, of course, famously wrote “Hey Jude” for Julian at a time when John Lennon had broken up with his first wife, Cynthia, Julian’s mom.

George Harrison’s estate posted a message that reads, “Happy Birthday, @PaulMcCartney!” The note is accompanied by an archival photo of George and Paul sitting in chairs facing each other as they played and sang together.

George’s ex-wife, Pattie Boyd, wrote, “Happy Birthday to the one and only @PaulMcCartney – I just saw an announcement for some shows later in the year … how does he keep on doing it?!” She also included a photo of Paul and her from the 1964 Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night.

Founding Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson posted a photo of Paul and him smiling together, along with a note that reads, “A Friend Like You: Happy Birthday.” “A Friend Like You” is the name of a song from Wilson’s 2004 solo album, Gettin’ In over My Head, which featured Paul of backing vocals and acoustic guitar.

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood posted a trio of pics of him and McCartney together, as well as the message, “Happy birthday @paulmccartney! Have an incredible day.” One of the photos also features Wood’s Stones bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in a recording studio when Paul was contributing his bass part to the new Stones song “Bite My Head Off.”
