AceShowbiz - Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr surprised fans with a performance at the final stop of McCartney's "Got Back Tour" in London. McCartney welcomed Starr to the stage at the O2 Arena on Thursday night, December 19 gifting fans with an unforgettable Christmas surprise. The duo, joined by The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, thrilled the audience with renditions of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" and "Helter Skelter".
"Should we rock?" McCartney asked Starr before they launched into "Helter Skelter". The audience erupted in applause as the former bandmates showcased their enduring chemistry.
After the performance, Starr expressed his gratitude, saying, "I've had a great night. I love you all." McCartney bid farewell to his longtime friend, saying, "Goodbye Ringo, I will see you soon."
The reunion marked a special moment for fans of legendary band The Beatles. McCartney and Starr are the only surviving members, with John Lennon being shot and killed in 1980 and George Harrison dying of cancer in 2001.
Starr has previously spoken about his close bond with McCartney. "He's the brother I never had. As an only child, suddenly I got three brothers. We looked out for each other," he said.
McCartney also surprised his audience by performing with his original bass guitar, which had been stolen 50 years ago but was recently returned to him.
The Beatles' legacy continues to be celebrated and enjoyed by generations of fans worldwide. The documentary "Beatles '64", released on Disney+, offers a glimpse into the band's early days with rare footage and interviews with McCartney and Starr.
