Paul McCartney is one of the most famous musicians of all time. As a member of The Beatles, McCartney and fellow bandmate John Lennon did the bulk of the group’s songwriting. And once the group disbanded, McCartney went on to have a highly successful solo career of his own; he’s still touring to this day.
Prior to his rise to fame, McCartney knew he wanted to pursue music full time — it was more than a hobby. And while his dad was a musician as well and encouraged McCartney to develop his musical skills, his father wasn’t sold on McCartney’s ambitious dreams of being a rockstar. McCartney’s father even told him that he was “never gonna make any money” with The Beatles.
