However, in the past few weeks, the former Beatle has made headlines for his new book coming out – “The Lyrics.”

McCartney, along with Ringo Starr, will star in a Disney+ documentary – “The Beatles: Get Back.”

Both former Beatles bandmates love fan interactions, but dislike autographs and selfies.

McCartney thinks signing autographs is a strange concept, and Starr said he was done with autographs 13 years ago.

Starr disliked autographs once he realized people were earning profits from memorabilia he signed.

McCartney also doesn’t like taking selfies with fans when there’s a chance he doesn’t look put together.

McCartney truly enjoys interactions with fans, though.
