Paul McCartney, 84, has claimed he can ‘remember being born’ after recalling hearing the ‘clanging of forceps’ during his delivery.Speaking on the Good Hang With Amy Poehler podcast, The Beatles star shed light on the unusual memory and confessed he ‘doesn’t know if he made it up’. He said: ‘I have this feeling that I kind of remember being born. ‘I kind of remember white tiles, very sort of hygienic white tiles and chrome instruments and a clanging, because I was a forceps birth. They had to pull me out.’Paul was born on June 18, 1942, at Walton Hospital in Liverpool to mother Maria Patricia and father James McCartney. The music legend has spoken in the past about his memories and admitted they are ‘probably total bulls**t’, but maintains he can recall the imagery. Paul told Amy: ‘These things you don’t know if you’ve made it up… But I I have this feeling that I kind of remember being born. Paul McCartney, 84, has claimed he can ‘remember being born’ after recalling hearing the ‘clanging of forceps’ after his delivery Paul (left) pictured with his mother Mary, who passed away from breast cancer when he was just 14’So I sort of think I remember [my birth]. How funny… I don’t know if it’s true.’Speaking to The Guardian earlier this year, Paul echoed: ‘OK, well, now we get into dubious territory, because I have a feeling I can remember being born.’Highly dubious, highly dubious, but I feel the white tiles and chrome instruments and the sounds. It’s probably total bulls**t.’In fact, it almost certainly is. An imagined memory! And I was a forceps delivery. I don’t quite understand what that is. I think they had to pull me out with some pliers.’Paul has spoken about his mother Mary, a nurse, many times and she is mentioned in the group’s iconic 1970 hit Let It Be, with the first line reading: ‘When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.’ He said of her death: ‘My mum dying when I was 14 was the big shock in my teenage years. She died of cancer, I learnt later. I didn’t know then why she had died. Speaking on the Good Hang With Amy Poehler podcast, The Beatles star shed light on the unusual memory and confessed he ‘doesn’t know if he made it up”My mother’s death broke my dad up. That was the worst thing for me, hearing my dad cry. I’d never heard him cry before. It was a terrible blow to the family. You grow up real quick, because you never expect to hear your parents crying.’You expect to see women crying, or kids in the playground, or even yourself crying – and you can explain all that. But when it’s your dad, then you know something’s really wrong and it shakes your faith in everything.’But I was determined not to let it affect me. I carried on. I learnt to put a shell around me at that age. ‘There was none of this sitting at home crying – that would be recommended now, but not then.’Paul created a retrospective with his latest album, The Boys Of Dungeon Lane – which he said was full of ‘memory songs’ about his youth and bandmates. Of the album, he said: ‘I like to go over memories, because it brings me back to the time. It brings me back to the people.’ The Beatles pictured in 1963.

So I picked up the guitar and started playing… and he played along exactly! I think he knew it better than I did!’It was amazing how studied and how well-educated he was about me. So, yeah, I thought, OK, I’ll leave you to it.’ Paul’s youth is about to hit the big screens with Sam Mendes’ biopics of each member of The Beatles, with Paul Mescal set to play Macca
