Sir Paul McCartney has reached the heights of success few music artists ever had. Tragically, his mother died long before The Beatles legend shot to fame when he was just 14-years-old. But now the star has celebrated what would have been Mary McCartney’s 112th birthday on his Instagram page.
Sir Paul shared a swimming pool photograph of himself as a child with his mother Mary. The 79-year-old captioned it: “Today is the anniversary of my lovely mum’s birth. Lets celebrate together. - Paul.”
Mary Patricia Mohin was born on September 29, 1909 and married Paul’s father James McCartney on April 5, 1941. Sadly, the star’s mid-wife mother died some 65 years ago on October 31, 1956 of an embolism due to a complication from surgery for breast cancer.
On Mother’s Day this year Paul paid tribute to his mum with a picture of himself as a kid with his parents and younger brother Michael sitting in a doorway. He captioned this snap: “Happy #MothersDay to all you mothers around the world with love.. you deserve it. - Paul x.”
John Lennon also lost his mother Julia as a teenager when just 17-years-old. She was knocked down and killed by a car driven by an off-duty police officer in 1958.
