Paul McCartney: From Wings to West Wing
SIR Paul McCartney is to perform at the White House when he receives an award from US president Barack Obama next month.
The president and his wife, Michelle, are hosting a concert in the East Room on 2 June for an event at which former Beatle Sir Paul will receive the third Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress.
The show will be broadcast on US television later in the summer.
Last year the Gershwin prize – awarded to musicians for a lifetime of songwriting – went to Stevie Wonder.
