Among the McCartney stamps that are set to be issued later this month are a set of eight featuring artwork from the musician’s solo LPs, including his most recent album ‘McCartney III’.
The remaining four stamps, which are presented in a ‘Miniature Sheet’, feature images which span three decades of McCartney at work in the studio.
“Paul McCartney remains a vital figure at the centre of rock and pop, an artist whose legacy is immense, but whose work continues to generate popular attention and critical acclaim,” Royal Mail’s David Gold said in a statement.
“This dedicated stamp issue is a fitting tribute to one of the UK’s much loved and revered musical icons.”
McCartney is the third artist to be celebrated by the Royal Mail with a dedicated stamp issue, following on from the late David Bowie in 2017 and Elton John in 2019.
