Sir Paul McCartney to feature in documentary about his stolen guitar

Sir Paul McCartney is to feature in a new documentary which unravels the mystery of his missing guitar.

The Beatles legend was left devastated after the 1961 Hofner 500/1 bass guitar - used in the creation of many of the bands' hits - was stolen from the back of a van in London in October 1972 and in 2018, a major international search was launched for the missing instrument called The Lost Bass Project.

McCartney was reunited with the instrument in 2024 and he's now involved in making a film about the drama called The Beatle and the Bass. He said in a statement: "I think anything that’s nicked, you want back, especially if it has sentimental value.

"It just went off into the universe and it left us thinking, where did it go? There must be an answer ... "
