“I’ve always been interested in creative ideas and new ways of reaching people, so this is a really exciting initiative for me,” dailystar.co.uk quoted McCartney as saying.

We are proud that he turned to HP as a trusted partner to help him preserve his legacy and set a new vision for the industry.”
