Paul McCartney Shares Throwback Pic with John Lennon on His Birth Anniversary

News 18  

Co-lead vocalist and bassist for the celebrated English rock band The Beatles, Paul McCartney posted a throwback picture with his friend and the legendary John Lennon on the latter’s 80th birthday. Speaking about his relationship with John, Paul had said in an interview with Far Out Magazine, “Most of the time he was very generous, very loving, very easy to work with. But both of us had this sardonic streak that we could bring to each other’s things.” John and Paul were close friends, their bond cemented while writing songs together for their band. John, who was one year elder to Paul, invited him to join the group which later evolved to become the world-famous band The Beatles.
