Sir Paul McCartney joined NVP as Peace and Non-Violence Ambassador in April 2012.

Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, composer, and record and film producer who gained worldwide fame as co-lead vocalist and bassist for the Beatles.

His songwriting partnership with John Lennon remains the most successful in history. After the group disbanded in 1970, he pursued a solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda, and Denny Laine.

ChicagoReader about Pauls performance at Lollapalooza Festival 2015: "Paul McCartney’s set was bombastic and indulgent and the most energetic of day one. He rolled out his solo songs alongside his… well, they’re all classics, aren’t they? There were plenty of literal fireworks to accompany “Live and Let Die,” there were plenty of refrains of “Hey Jude,” and McCartney himself probably played ten different guitars. When people talk about Lollapalooza 2015, this is the set that'll come up first. This one’s going to stick. It will always be about Paul."
