Paul Mccartney - Take $25 Off Your Order With Promo Code: Paul05
Paul McCartney tickets create a buzz whenever they are announced. Perhaps they create such a buzz because they are perceived as the last chance to listen to something live that touches the Beatles or perhaps they are in such demand because Paul has become perhaps the most popular and successful musician in modern music. He has been a member of the Beatles, Wings, and worked with some the most influential artist of every generation.
Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England to Mary and Jim McCartney. His father encouraged him to pursue music since he was a young child, though he tried to drive to jazz rather than the new music phenomenon, rock and roll. It was as a rock and roll musician that he would sell millions of album, be played hundreds of millions of times on the radio, and sell concert tickets to hundreds of shows that would change people's lives.
His first step to stardom arguably began when he was 12 and his mother died of an embolism after a mastectomy. That painful childhood memory would later be a key to his connection with John Lennon. Before he met John Lennon he would meet George Harrison. The two rode the bus together on their way to grammar school. These experiences as young man miraculously brought him closer to two of his three band mates from the Beatles.
Before rock and roll became popular, Paul McCartney was exposed to skiffle music. Skiffle music is folk music influenced by jazz, blues, and country. This exposure led him to turn in a trumpet for a guitar. Years later he was playing alongside John Lennon, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Pete Best. The group took a number of names, including the Silver Beatles and sold concert tickets to shows around England before finally settling on the Beatles.
As the Beatles they moved to a residency in Hamburg in 1960 that lasted two years. They played sessions that lasted five or more hours seven days a week, all in front of a crowd that was waiting to see a strip show. Though Paul McCartney and the rest of the group were not selling any tickets they were tightening their act at an incredible pace because of the sheer number of hours they played.
The group eventually added Ringo Star to replace Pete Best and become the Fab Four that everyone knows now. The Beatles went on to become exceedingly popular in the UK in 1963 after the release of Please Please Me. A year later they would usher in the British Invasion in the U.S. with their third studio album, A Hard Day's Night. Beatles tickets drew huge crowds of frenzied teenagers and the group even appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, an appearance that perhaps officially marked the beginning of a long lasting musical invasion.
Paul McCartney and the Beatles lasted just eight years. They sold Beatles tickets almost non-stop when they toured for four years straight, all the while recording new material. The result was eight years, 12 albums, and an undeniable place in music history. The group was among the first to reach mainstream success with mop tops and quirky movies that played more like long music videos than the carefully produced movies from Hollywood.

Artist Biography - Paul Mccartney
|
 The breakup of the Beatles in 1970 was an event that shook the world. Many would blame the relationship of John and Yoko, but some see the constant touring and recording as more the blame. In the end, the four went on separate paths, some ending tragically and some continuing today. Paul McCartney immediately released a self-titled solo album in 1970 that went double platinum in the U.S.
McCartney eventually formed the group Wings with future wife Linda Eastman. They, along with Denny Laine and Denny Seiwell became Wings and continued to sell concert tickets and albums until 1981. Paul kept busy outside of Wings, working with Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Elvis Costello, and many others.
Paul McCartney tickets sold well after Wings, when he became primarily a solo act. He still strived to explore other creative outlets, dabbling in arranging chamber music, sound tracks for movies, producing animated films, painting, and writing poetry. He also made wise investments, purchasing rights to popular songs and musicals.
Tragedy seems top have been a constant in Paul McCartney's life. In 1980, 10 years after the Beatles broke up and years after McCartney tried to repair the fractured relationship with Lennon, John was murdered. In 1998 his first wife, Linda, passed away after a bout with breast cancer, the same infliction that led to his mother's death. Three years later, George Harrison, his best friend lost his own battle with cancer.
Paul McCartney has become an activist for a number of causes over the years, including fighting cancer. He has played concerts in which the proceeds from tickets were donated to the causes. He has remained active throughout his life and has not shown any indication that he will be slowing down anytime soon.
The latest news has Paul McCartney proceeding on a short summer tour that starts on July 11 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and ends in Arlington, TX on August 19 at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The Paul McCartney tickets for these events are sure to be sold out immediately.
