McCartney, brother of Mary, 52, and Stella, 50, is the only son of Sir Paul, 79, and his late wife Linda.
He has played on a number of his father’s albums and has also released his own music.
After largely shunning the limelight and even working as a waiter in Brighton, McCartney later followed in his father’s musical footsteps.

He spent his first two and a half years with his parents touring with their group Wings.
He later played guitar on Sir Paul’s records Flaming Pie and Driving Rain, as well as The Light Comes From Within – a song he recorded with his mother before her death from breast cancer in 1998.
He released his debut single Available Light in 2010 before releasing his first album Me in 2013 and his second, The Blackberry Train, in 2016 – both co-produced with his father.

He previously said he had goals of being “better than the Beatles.”
“Once I got to a certain age I realized I was slightly better than other kids at school at guitar and I was proud and happy about that,” he told the BBC in 2012.
“I dreamed then of being better than The Beatles. I’m not sure I can. If anything, I’d love to be like The Beatles – but even that’s pretty hard.”
