Beatles legend Paul McCartney has revealed he forgets how cool he is - and is reminded of his stature and reputation by the approval and interest of other artists.
McCartney claims to be generally unaware of his status in the music world, and credits the likes of Dave Grohl for helping jog his memory about his iconic music legacy.
"Occasionally it'll get shown to me," says McCartney when asked by Shortlist magazine if he is aware of how cool he is. "If someone such as Dave Grohl wants me to play with him then I think that's pretty cool, because he's a cool guy and he likes me and he likes my playing and he wants me to sing with him. So that kind of keeps it topped up.
He also spoke of his Coachella and Glastonbury festivals, saying that audience members singing Beatles songs prompted him to perform.
"A few years ago we did Coachella and that was very cool. I did it for the same reason that we did Glastonbury. Someone said, 'I was at Glastonbury last year. It was great. Late at night, walking around all the campfires, everyone singing Beatles songs?' I thought, 'Oh, right. I could do that.' They may be young, they may be old, but they still know Beatles stuff, they still like the songs."
