Beatles legend Paul McCartney has made a bombshell statement about influencer culture, insisting that ‘people who do not seem to be talented are incredibly famous.’<\/p>\n
The 83-year-old music legend has been part of showbiz industry for six decades and is well familiar with the attitudes and approaches of different generations entering and leaving the music world.<\/p>\n
Now, in a new interview, Paul has spoken about how he feels the celebrity world has changed, particularly with the rise of social media.<\/p>\n
Speaking on\u00a0The Rest Is Entertainment<\/i>\u00a0podcast, the star was asked a listener question by hosts Marina Hyde and Richard Osman about what baffles him the most from the 21st century.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘I think a lot of this influencer stuff – I just don’t really get it, because I’m not that generation.<\/p>\n
‘But I see it, you can’t help it. My wife will be looking at Instagram and showing me something, and then one of those will come on.<\/p>\n
‘I think it’s funny – and I suppose it always happened – but people who don’t seem to be particularly talented are incredibly famous. Billions of hits and views.<\/p>\n
‘You’ve got to be careful about talking about that, because it makes you sound very old-fashioned. Which I am.’<\/p>\n
Last month, the first track from Paul’s album,\u00a0The Boys of Dungeon Lane,<\/i>\u00a0was released, called\u00a0Days We Left Behind\u00a0<\/i>and is believed to be fully released in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
