Paul McCartney is to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. The ceremony takes place from 2pm PST (10pm GMT) outside Capitol Records, where Paul recorded his latest album 'Kisses On The Bottom', alongside his fellow Beatles; Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon.
Paul will then follow the ceremony with a performance of songs from his new album 'Kisses On The Bottom' at Capitol Studios, which will be streaming live exclusively through iTunes from 7pm PST (3am GMT). Paul will be joined by Diana Krall and her band, who recorded the album with Paul throughout 2011.
The Capitol Studios streaming event will be the first time ever that songs from 'Kisses On The Bottom' will be brought to life in a live setting.
'Kisses On The Bottom' is a collection of standards Paul grew up listening to, as well as two brand new McCartney compositions 'My Valentine' and'Only Our Hearts' (which feature guest turns, respectively, from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder). Recorded with the aid of Grammy-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band. 'Kisses On The Bottom' is a deeply personal journey through songs that, in some cases, a young Paul first heard his father perform on the family piano.
'Kisses On The Bottom' is out now.
