Paul McCartney 75th Birthday Tribute
For Beatlemaniacs, 2017 is a momentous year. On June 18, Paul McCartney, one of our most beloved living songwriters and performers, will celebrate his 75th birthday. The legendary bassist and singer-who still releases albums, tours stadiums, and recently appeared on a hit single with Rihanna and Kanye West-remains relevant six decades into an extraordinary career. And June 1 marks the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' monumental achievement, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; named the Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, it has sold more than 32 million copies and inspired generations of artists who continue to push the boundaries of what rock music can sound (and look) like. To honor these occasions, Condé Nast will create a special edition devoted to McCartney and Sgt. Pepper, featuring archival content from such brands as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Pitchfork, as well as newly commissioned original material. Packed with classic and rare photos-and authoritative and exhaustive McCartney and Beatles discographies-it will be a keepsake no fan will want to be without.
