Paul McCartney Honors John Lennon with £3.5M House for Cancer Patients in Liverpool
Liverpool, UK – July 5, 2025
In a deeply emotional gesture, Sir Paul McCartney has unveiled a new residential care home for cancer patients in the heart of Liverpool — a dream once shared with his late friend and Beatles bandmate, John Lennon.
The £3.5 million project, personally funded by McCartney, provides housing and medical support for individuals battling cancer, offering comfort and dignity in their most vulnerable moments. The facility, named “Lennon-McCartney House”, stands as both a sanctuary and a powerful tribute to their enduring friendship.
“Hey buddy, I did it,” McCartney reportedly said at the opening ceremony, echoing the loving words he wished he could share with Lennon today.
The idea stemmed from a conversation the two had in the 1970s, in which Lennon envisioned a communal space for those in need. Though the plan never materialized during Lennon’s lifetime, McCartney never forgot the vision. With state-of-the-art medical support, therapy spaces, and rooms named after Beatles songs, the home is already being hailed as a beacon of compassion and care in the Liverpool community.
Fans, local dignitaries, and cancer survivors gathered at the ribbon-cutting, where McCartney played a brief acoustic rendition of “In My Life” in Lennon’s memory.
“This isn’t just a building,” McCartney said. “It’s a symbol of love, hope, and the power of friendship. John would’ve loved this.”
The Lennon-McCartney House is expected to support hundreds of patients annually, combining holistic wellness with emotional support — a fitting legacy for two of music’s greatest legends.
