The Beatles legend today celebrates the release of Egypt Station, his 17th solo album.

Speaking to Radio X's Gordon Smart, the Liverpool legend revealed that he named it after one of his own paintings.

The Get Back icon said: "I did a picture and I only called it Egypt Station because it had these kind of Egyptian things in it and when I finished it, it looked like they were all kind of standing at a station waiting for a train.

"More recently I thought, I like that title, it conjures up something, you can put any interpretation you want on it. I looked at the again and thought, maybe that could be an album cover. So then I started to get excited about all that.

"I was telling the guys when we were making the album, here’s what we’re doing, it’s like a sort of journey, it starts off and we’re in the station, the first song comes on, so each song is like a station. It gave us some ideas to base all the songs around, that it was all coming from this one place."
