Once the World’s Most Famous Rock Star, Now Nearly Forgotten

Sir Paul McCartney, the renowned singer who rose to fame as a member of The Beatles, was recently seen sporting a man bun while vacationing with his wife, Nancy Shevell, in St. Barts. Despite global travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 78-year-old musician appeared to be thoroughly enjoying his annual Caribbean getaway.

As he nears his 80th birthday, McCartney continues to display his youthful spirit by experimenting with new hairstyles. His wife, Nancy, looked chic in a pink top, a brown fedora, and oversized sunglasses.

Throughout his career, McCartney and his fellow Beatles were known for their distinctive hairstyles. McCartney, in particular, has often had long hair.

His recent adoption of the man bun style is a testament to his ongoing willingness to try new looks. In 2018, McCartney made headlines when he stopped dyeing his hair and embraced his natural gray color, marking a significant change from his long-standing red hair.

McCartney’s holiday season was quite eventful, including his trip to St. Barts and the release of his new album, “McCartney III,” which he wrote and recorded during the lockdown. In a promotional interview with actor Idris Elba, McCartney explained that he didn’t plan to make an album during the lockdown; it just happened naturally.

Everyone cleaned out their closets and accomplished all they had planned to do. Making an album was like that for me,” he said. “I had no intention of making an album. So I had ten songs and wondered, ‘What am I going to do with them?’ I had no idea I was making an album, so I only recorded ten tracks.”

• Regarding the album’s title, McCartney explained to Elba that the name “McCartney III” was a natural choice, given the solo nature of the project and its continuity with his previous solo albums, “McCartney I” and “McCartney II.” “I realized, since I played McCartney I and McCartney II myself, that I had done them in the same style, so this would be McCartney III. So then I thought, ‘Okay, now I know what I’m doing.’”
