Echo Arena honours Sir Paul McCartney with icon award

Hospitality and event space Echo Arena celebrated the homecoming of Liverpool’s biggest musical legend, Sir Paul McCartney, by presenting him with its inaugural Icon Award.
 
The Beatles star played to a sell-out venue for the glittering finale to his worldwide On The Run tour and was presented with the specially-designed accolade to commemorate the first time he has played at the Liverpool wateont venue.
 
“Sir Paul is the biggest musical icon of all time so we hope our award is a fitting tribute to mark his debut here at Echo Arena,” ACC Liverpool Chief Executive Bob Prattey said. “He seemed extremely proud to accept the award and thrilled to be playing in Liverpool for the final leg of his latest tour.
 
“Last time he played on the Liverpool wateont was in 2003 on a site adjacent to where Echo Arena now stands.”
