Paul McCartney Responds To Plans For Another Beatles Museum In Liverpool | KIIS FM
With UK chancellor Rishi Sunak planning to invest £2 million into a new museum dedicated to The Beatles in their hometown of Liverpool, Paul McCartney is sharing whether or not he wants one. The former Beatles bandmate has said that while he’s “happy they’re recognizing that it’s a tourist attraction,” he believes the money is best spent elsewhere.
The news was announced by Sunak last month, alongside plans to invest £850 million to protect museums, galleries, libraries, and local culture across the United Kingdom.
