Overview
Paul McCartney has been named 'Artist of the Year' at the Ultimate Classic Rock Awards.
The singer beat off competition from Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, Chickenfoot's Sammy Hagar and Alice Cooper for the prize.
A statement for the awards read: "The 69-year-old McCartney had his (meat-free) plate full for all of 2011.
"Whether it was releasing re-issues of his two truest solo efforts, McCartney and McCartney II, collaborating with the New York City Ballet, producing a film marking the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 or embarking on his huge On the Run tour, he pretty much did it all."
Meanwhile, Paul McCartney's new album will be called 'Kisses On The Bottom'.
The album, which at present has no tracklisting, will feature covers of songs he was inspired by during his childhood, set for release February 6 2012.
