Celebrity Joe Lycett paul mccartney
Joe Lycett nominated this ‘banned’ Macca sculpture for an award and Stuart Maconie’s comeback really wasn’t messing around
The great Joe Lycett has been getting into the arts, even more so than before, with a new book …

and a new gig hosting the inaugural Sky Arts awards.
We mention him for none of these reasons – worthy as they are – but because he’s seized on this sculpture of Paul McCartney which apparently Macca really doesn’t like at all, so Joe’s done this.
Paul McCartney supposedly hates this sculpture by @WilfridWood and had it BANNED.
So I have nominated it as ‘The Greatest British Masterpiece’ in a poll for @thetimes. It’s up against Hamlet.

And we mention that because it caught the attention – and the ire – of the equally fab Stuart Maconie, who said this.
Ooof. And we’re in a right quandary because they are two of our favourite people.
Opinion appeared to be divided but, er, not exactly equally.
Well said Stuart. Of all the people to go after in the world and sidesplittingly hilarious @joelycett goes after Paul McCartney. What a weird thing to do.

I like it. It’s fun.

Macca has never seen it, let alone banned it.

Not sure why you want to wind up Paul McCartney?

I always thought you were quite a kind man @joelycett
…I know I am bound to be loyal to my Mum’s Cousin -but he is one of the kindest hearts I know .
Wishing you Well though !— Ted Robbins (@TedRobbins55) September 8, 2024
The sentiment of this person feels hard to disagree with, we reckon.
Why are you hating on Paul McCartney and directing people towards the Times?

Seconded.
