Kathryn Armstrong of BBC News reports on last evening’s performance of the two remaining Beatles, Sir Ringo Starr (84) and Sir Paul McCartney (82), showing us once again that you’re never too old to rock.
She writes:
Sir Paul McCartney has reunited with his former Beatles band-mate Sir Ringo Starr during a gig at London’s O2 Arena.
The drummer was brought on stage to thunderous applause before the pair launched into classics Helter Skelter and Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
“I’ve had a great night and I love you all,” Sir Ringo said later as he walked offstage.
Sir Paul and Sir Ringo, who are the last surviving members of The Beatles, have played together a number of times since the band broke up in 1970.
That includes at Sir Ringo’s 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and on Sir Paul’s last tour, Freshen Up, in 2019.
Sir Paul is known for treating his fans to jumbo performances packed with hits from his lengthy musical career, which also includes the band Wings and several solo albums.
