Sir Paul McCartney can’t remember how to play all the Beatles songs and to be honest, it’s just made him the most relatable person in the world.

The legendary singer-songwriter, 77, confessed that he has to relearn some of the older tunes or rely on band members to jog his memory.

To be fair, the little-known pop group have got a pretty solid back catalogue of tracks, with some of The Beatles’ early songs dating back 55 years.

Plus, poor Paul’s worked on more than 1,000 songs in his career. Give the guy a break!

‘I have to re-learn everything. I’ve written an awful lot, you can’t retain them all. We go in rehearsal and I’m, “Oh yeah, that’s how it goes,”‘ he told The Mirror.

When asked if he thinks the songs are ‘pretty good,’ Paul replied: ‘I do, I really do. Some of the old songs you say, “Oh, that’s clever, I wouldn’t have done that”.

‘It’s exciting to think that still works. We were a little rock and roll group from Liverpool, it just kept going.’

Paul McCartney for Prime Minister, anyone?

It’s not the first time Macca has been ridiculously down-to-earth, as he recently had a meltdown over receiving the gold Blue Peter badge.

The man who has sold over 700 million albums and is the most successful musician and composer in pop history, declared that he’d ‘made it’ after being bestowed with the honour.

Meanwhile, the iconic singer is showing no signs of slowing down as he’s just signed up to write his first ever musical.

Paul will bring It’s A Wonderful Life to the stage, after calling the Christmas movie ‘a universal story we can all relate to.’
