Barack Obama will host a concert to honour Sir Paul McCartney.
The US president and wife Michelle will hold the event at the White House on June 2 for the ex-Beatle, who will be awarded the third Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress, the mirror.co.uk writes.
The prize - in honour of songwriters George and Ira Gershwin - is given to stars for their lifetime contribution to popular music. Macca is the third to get the award after Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder.
