Paul McCartney has celebrated his mother’s Mary McCartney’s birthday some 65 years after her death


Tragically, his mother died long before Paul 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 official page.

Paul 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, she 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.”
