Sir Paul McCartney (Hairy Woodchuck)

Sir James Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England. He was best known for being the bassist and one of the lead vocalists for the Beatles. He and John Lennon were the writers of countless enduring songs, such as Hey Jude, Help!, Yesterday, and Please Please Me. After the Beatles broke up, McCartney formed his own band, Paul McCartney and the Wings. With them, McCartney wrote other famous songs, such as Live and Let Die, Silly Love Songs, and Maybe I'm Amazed.

Paul was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1997. He, Ringo Starr, and millions of others mourned the death of George Harrison in 2001. Sir Paul continued to perform around the world well into the 21st century. He performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2005. In 2012, he performed at the Hurricane Sandy relief concert along with many other artists. McCartney partook in the 2018 "March for our Lives" to protest gun violence, citing that his "close friend" (John Lennon) was shot and killed many years ago. He appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2018 for Corden's famous "Carpool Karaoke" in which Corden and a famous musical artist sing along to the respective artist's most famous songs. Corden and McCartney travelled to Penny Lane, and later the two of them visited McCartney's childhood home. The show culminated with a surprise appearence at a bar of McCartney and his band. By the time their performance was finished, the bar was overflowing with people and the crowd spilled out on to the street.

In 2019, people noticed that McCartney's voice was starting to weaken a little with age, and by by the early 2020's, he was clearly showing the signs of aging. After turning 80 in 2022, McCartney gradually slowed down his performance schedule. By 2025, he possessed significantly less energy and often appeared tired and haggard. McCartney gave his last public performance in 2026 and retired to spend more time with his family. He still made public appearances and remained a major advocate for veganism. He along with many other famous artists of his time attended Ringo Starr's funeral in 2029. McCartney thus became the last surviving Beatle.

By 2030, McCartney's health began to decline. He could no longer walk without the use of a cane and began having heart problems. Despite this, he still remained within the public eye. He celebrated his 90th birthday in 2032.

Death
On March 19, 2033, McCartney died peacefully in his sleep. The cause of death was listed as heart failure. March 20th, 2033 was declared a national day of mourning in the UK, America, and 48 other countries. King William of the UK said that "Sir Paul's music truly changed the world, and his music will always keep his memory strong."
