Elvis Costello shares ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ cover in 80th birthday tribute to Paul McCartney

Elvis Costello has shared a cover of a classic Beatles song in tribute to Paul McCartney on his 80th birthday.

McCartney turned 80 on 18 June, just days before the legendary singer-songwriter is set to headline Glastonbury festival.

Costello shared a version of The Beatles’ 1968 hit “Here, There And Everywhere”, which first appeared on Revolver.

The song is credited to Lennon-McCartney, but was written by McCartney, who has cited it as among his favourite of his own compositions.

On Twitter, former Beatle Ringo Starr also shared a birthday tribute to McCartney, writing: “They say it’s your birthday Saturday happy birthday Paul love you man have a great day peace and love Ringo and Barbara love love peace and love.”

McCartney himself later replied to fans’ celebratory messages on Twitter, writing: “Thanks for all the lovely greetings and warm wishes for my birthday.”
