Paul McCartney

From Conservapedia

Sir Paul McCartney (born 1942) is a British musician famous for being the bassist and frequent lead singer for the Beatles. Along with John Lennon, he was one half of the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team, which wrote much of the band's material. McCartney favored lighter, more pop-oriented songs than Lennon, which became much more apparent after April 1970 when the Beatles broke up and both began to record solo. McCartney soon formed a new band, Wings (band), and recorded many staples of AM radio. His song "Yesterday" had been covered by over 3,500 artists, making it the most covered song in music history.

He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997.

Paul was married for thirty years to Linda Eastman who played keyboards in Wings. Eastman died in 1998 after a three year battle with breast cancer. His second marriage to Heather Mills lasted for four years. He continues to tour and perform, and is Britain's highest-earning musician today.

McCartney has been arrested twice for possession of marijuana and publicly called for its legalization.
