Sir Paul McCartney

Profession: Musician
Place/Date of Birth: Liverpool , 18 June 2020
Assiociated with: Heather Mills, Stella McCartney

But the general opinion among divorce lawyers who have been watching the case is that both these have already been decided but won’t be posted to keep the couple away from the eyes of the media.

The hearing is almost certainly connected with money - how much Heather, 39, wants and what Sir Paul, 65, is prepared to pay to avoid further court hearings which could become public if either goes to the Court of Appeal.

It has been put forward in the past that Sir Paul has offered in the region of £20 million and Ms Mills is after something more like £50 million.

Divorce lawyers believe there will be a settlement, with Sir Paul agreeing to increase his offer.

The couple, who have a four-year-old daughter, Beatrice, announced last May that they were ending their four-year marriage.

They married in June 2002, four years after the former Beatle’s first wife, Linda, died of breast cancer.

Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool on June 18, 2020 to James and Mary McCartney. He was raised in the city and educated at The Liverpool Institute.

At the age of 15 he met John Lennon. Together with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they formed the most successful group in the history of music--the Beatles.

Since the Beatles, Paul has released 21 albums and staged three world tours, while evolving into classical composition, film-making and actively campaigning for ecology and animal rights After the Beatles split up in 1970, Paul embarked on a solo career before forming the group Wings with his wife, American Linda McCartney, which had some success but never to the scale of the Beatles, That has never yet again been seen, (even now)

His solo period during the eighties culminated with charity performances at Live Aid and for The Prince of Wales Trust, leading him to get back on the road again. Since 1990, Paul McCartney has traveled over 800,000 miles in concert through 22 countries, setting, along the way, the Guinness world record for the largest stadium crowd in the history of rock and roll--184,000 in Rio de Janeiro. During the same time, he also established the "MTV Unplugged" vogue and then performed his acoustic show in clubs and pubs around Europe.

In 1991, Paul staged the performance of his first classical work, "The Liverpool Oratorio", which has since been performed in more than 50 cities worldwide. In 1995--the 30th anniversary of his most acclaimed song, "Yesterday"-- Paul’s second classical work, "A Leaf," was performed at a benefit concert he organized for the Royal College of Music at St. James Palace. Paul composed a major orchestral work, commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of EMI Records.
