Legendary Beatle Paul McCartney is set to captivate audiences at London's O2 Arena tonight and tomorrow night as part of his acclaimed Got Back tour. Playing to a sold-out crowd of 20,000 at the iconic venue, McCartney is expected to deliver a hit-filled setlist spanning his spectacular career, from The Beatles' classics to Wings favourites and solo gems.
These concerts come amidst a special moment for Genesis subscribers. Paul McCartney has kindly contributed the introduction to Buddy Holly: Words of Love, the upcoming book celebrating the life and lyrics of one of his greatest inspirations, Buddy Holly. McCartney has often credited Holly as a profound influence on his songwriting and The Beatles' early sound, making his involvement in the project especially fitting.
'It was Buddy who was the major inspiration to us in The Beatles. We wanted to be a group like that. We even made our name The Beatles because we thought it was very clever of them to name themselves The Crickets.' - Paul McCartney
Adding to the excitement is Mike McCartney's Early Liverpool, a stunning collection of photography, drawings and historical memorabilia from Paul's younger brother, Mike McCartney. The book offers an entirely unique glimpse into their early life in Merseyside, including rare and previously unpublished portraits of Paul before his rise to global fame.
As the Got Back tour continues, McCartney's enduring legacy in music and culture shines brighter than ever - on stage and on the page!
Since 1974 Genesis has created signed limited edition books on behalf of authors and artists ranging from the Beatles to Buckingham Palace.
