Watch Paul McCartney Join Forces With Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood for Legendary Reunion Performance of Beatles Classics in London

While the members of The Beatles decided to part way back in 1970, the band’s music continues to entertain and inspire millions around the world. Sadly, over the years, members like John Lennon and George Harrison passed away. As for other members like Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, they both explored solo careers. For McCartney, he released nearly twenty studio albums. His last, McCartney III, hit shelves back in 2020. And recently, helming his Got Back tour, the singer welcomed his former bandmate, Starr, and Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood to the stage for special performances.

On Thursday, fans packed the O2 Arena in London to watch McCartney perform. Throughout the concert, the singer took fans on a journey through his rich history in music. But although loving the tour, McCartney had a surprise for fans when he welcomed Starr to the stage. Taking place during the encore, McCartney asked Starr if he wanted to rock. And never losing his touch, Starr was ready.

Treating fans to performances of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” and “Helter Skelter”, Starr took a moment to address the fans and his friend McCartney. “I’m off now but I’ve had a great night, love you all – especially this man.”

Paul McCartney Admitted “We Got To Go Home”

Although thrilled to perform together, McCartney, who turned 82 back in June, joked that he needed to get home. “It’s fantastic, playing with me old mate, but there comes a time when we’ve got to go home.”

As for the performance, fans loved watching both McCartney and Starr share the stage once again. Looking at the comments, one person remembered the phenomenon that was The Beatles. “Had an ear-to-ear grin on my face from beginning to end. Yeah, I was teenager in the U.S. in the ’60, and –  along with just about every friend and acquaintance I knew – in wild adoration of and endless fascination with The Beatles. This video took me back and touched into those indelible feelings of joy and meaning those Liverpool lads brought into our lives. I doubt we’ll ever have a cultural phenomenon like it again.”
