Ex-Beatle McCartney gets Hollywood star

Feb 11, 2012 |

A small reminder of Beatlemania came to Hollywood on Thursday when Paul McCartney was honoured with a star on Tinseltown’s storied Walk of Fame, watched by hundreds of screaming and jostling fans.

The police blocked off Vine Street near the intersection with Hollywood Boulevard, as the crowds swelled across the broad boulevard in front of the iconic cylinder-shaped Capitol Records building.
McCartney, in Los Angeles ahead of the annual Grammy awards show this weekend, paid tribute to the “three boys” — John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr — who helped make him famous.
