Paul McCartney to discuss new book at London’s Southbank Centre
Paul McCartney is set to appear in conversation at London’s Southbank Centre later this year to discuss his new book.
The Beatles legend’s book, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, will recount the musician’s life through his earliest boyhood compositions, songs by The Beatles and Wings, and from his lengthy solo career.
It’s set to be published on November 2, and three days later on November 5, McCartney will appear at the Royal Festival Hall to discuss the book and his one-of-a-kind career.
As well as the in-person event, the conversation will also be livestreamed globally. Tickets for the Southbank event and livestream both go on sale from 10am BST on Friday (September 17) from here.
The Lyrics will be presented with previously unseen drafts, letters and pictures from McCartney’s personal archive.
Arranged alphabetically to provide a kaleidoscopic rather than chronological account, it establishes definitive texts of the songs’ lyrics for the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what McCartney thinks of them now.
Last month, McCartney revealed the names of the 154 songs that are featured in his forthcoming career-spanning biography. To accompany the new book, the British Library has announced it will host a free display entitled Paul McCartney: The Lyrics between November 5, 2021 and March 13, 2022.
