The singer recently added another string to his bow by releasing his own picture book, called Hey Grandude.

He follows in the footsteps of musicians including Madonna, Bob Dylan and Keith Richards in releasing a kids' book.

He said: 'I’ve got eight grandchildren and they’re all beautiful and one day one of them said to me: "Hey Grandude!". I said: "What?" and I thought, I kind of like that, so from then on I was kind of known as Grandude.'

Sir Paul revealed the book, which is illustrated by Kathryn Durst and tipped for release in September next year, follows an old, magical gentleman called Grandude and his adventures with his four grandchildren.
