In a 2021 interview, The Beatles star revealed most of his eight grandchildren moan about him the playing the guitar around the house - because they would rather watch television.
Paul told The Mirror: 'Look, people come to see me, pay money, but you're not even remotely interested.
'And they say, "Grandad, look, do you mind? We're watching this programme?" turning down a one-to-one gig with the eighteen-time Grammy winner.'
