Sir Paul McCartney surprised his fans by performing the Beatles song Now and Then live with none other than his late bandmate, John Lennon, singing alongside him.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the recent unexpected and emotional reunion took place during the 82-year-old singer’s massive world tour.
McCartney has been incorporating Now and Then into every set of his “Got Back” world tour.
The senior performer said: “It’s really great. When you introduce a new song, even though it’s an old song, like ‘Now and Then’, the first reaction is, people aren’t quite sure what it is or what you’re doing.
“But during the run of the concerts, they get the idea. The word gets out on the internet, you know. So now the reaction is really strong, and for us, it’s great to play because it’s a nice song to play, and for me, it’s particularly great because it’s a John song. And so it’s very emotional for me.
“I love it. I love doing it, and the audience seem to love it too.”
The performance featured McCartney on vocals and guitar harmonizing with Lennon on vocals and piano, leaving the audience in awe.
This event marked the first time McCartney and Lennon “performed” on stage in over 50 years since The Beatles disbanded in 1970.
Despite Lennon’s tragic passing in 1980, the two musical legends were able to sing together once again in 2024.
