18 June sees the 70th birthday of Sir Paul McCartney and as a huge mark of respect Paul Weller and his band have recorded a cover of the Beatles classic song Birthday. This passionate cover will be made available for one day only – On 18 June (Sir Paul's birthday) and it will be available on iTunes and other digital partners.
Paul says: 'I wanted to do something for Paul's 70th, the man’s been, and still is, an immense and enduring inspiration for me. It was him and his three friends that made me want to pick up a guitar in the first place. I saw him play live recently and he inspired me just as much as ever, he was brilliant. I just hope he likes our little version, a token of my and the bands love for him and his music. Rock on Macca'.
Paul Weller and his band recorded Birthday (originally from the Beatles’ White Album) in one day down at Paul’s Black Barn studios. All Paul’s proceeds from the sale of the single will go to the War Child charity.
Available for one day only. Weller’s proceeds to go to the War Child Charity.
