Eddie said he had met the music legend in person in 2012, alongside his daughter, after winning a radio competition.
“He was just a normal person, he talked to my daughter,” he said.
“He’s a simple, kind, warm man.”
He explained he would also take the opportunity to attend the public funeral of Merseybeat legend Len Garry at St Peter’s Church in Woolton on Friday.
Garry, who was a member of The Quarrymen and played alongside McCartney and John Lennon before the band eventually became the Beatles, died earlier this month aged 84.
