The Beatle, the Sir, the living legend Paul McCartney is celebrating his 83rd birthday today!

McCartney is one of the most successful musicians in history – he taught himself piano and guitar as a kid, and is one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. He has penned a record 32 songs that have topped the Billboard Hot 100!

He’s a husband, father of five, and activist for causes near and dear to him: animal rights, poverty, and music education, among others.
