Bruce Springsteen joined by Paul McCartney at Liverpool concert
Singer Bruce Springsteen brought out a special guest at his show in Liverpool as he performed with local star Sir Paul McCartney. The American musician was joined on stage by the 82-year-old Beatles star during the second of two shows at Anfield stadium on Saturday, with Sir Paul then providing vocals as the pair played the band's Can't Buy Me Love. Springsteen, 75, and his E Street Band are in the UK as part of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which kicked off with three shows in Manchester last month. Footage shared on social media showed the surprised crowd cheering loudly as Sir Paul was introduced, before he then playfully pointed at Springsteen and the pair shared an embrace. Before he left the stage after their performance, Sir Paul addressed the crowd and reportedly said: 'Thank you, Scousers.' The two men have previously performed together on several occasions, most notably when Sir Paul delivered a headline set at Glastonbury in 2022. Announced as a surprise all the way from the east coast of America, Springsteen joined Sir Paul, who became the festival's oldest solo headliner, as they played hits Glory Days and I Wanna Be Your Man on the Pyramid Stage. In 2012, Sir Paul had joined Springsteen on stage at the end of the singer's headline slot at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park, London, but both stars found their microphones cut off before they could address the crowds after exceeding the curfew. Beginning his career in the 1960s, Springsteen has gone on to have 12 UK top 10 albums and four UK top 10 singles and is best known for songs such as Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run. His Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which includes 16 dates across six European countries, will conclude in Milan, Italy, on July 3.

'70s Rock Legends Fuel Reunion Rumors After Surprise Sighting
'70s Rock Legends Fuel Reunion Rumors After Surprise Sighting originally appeared on Parade. Beatles legend Paul McCartney was reportedly spotted at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts on Friday, June 6 — the same venue where Bruce Springsteen is set to perform over the weekend. Photos published by ECHO show the iconic musician arriving at the building's front entrance, quickly drawing a crowd of excited onlookers. Meanwhile, Springsteen was reportedly ushered in through a separate entrance and was not photographed — though members of the E Street Band, including Max Weinberg and Steven Van Zandt, were seen arriving. McCartney, 82, hasn't confirmed any plans to take the stage, but his appearance has sparked speculation among fans that he may be joining Springsteen for the final show of his Liverpool stop. If true, it wouldn't be the first time the two legends have performed together. In 2022, Springsteen made a surprise appearance during McCartney's headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 The pair have also shared the stage on other occasions, including shows at Hyde Park and New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Springsteen has long been vocal about the Beatles' influence on his music. During his 2012 keynote speech at SXSW, he reportedly praised the British band's groundbreaking approach to songwriting and performing. 'Four guys, playing and singing, writing their own material. There was no longer gonna be a music producer apart from the singer, a singer who didn't write, a writer who didn't sing,' he said. 'It changed the way things were done. The Beatles were cool.' McCartney has also spoken fondly of his friendship with Springsteen. In 2024, he presented The Boss with a prestigious fellowship from the songwriting academy at the Ivor Novello Awards. McCartney took the opportunity to give out some playful jabs, teasing, 'He's known as the American working man, but he admits he's never worked a day in his life,' adding, 'When it comes to talent, he'd definitely be in the top five'—implying, Springsteen may have landed a spot in the Beatles. '70s Rock Legends Fuel Reunion Rumors After Surprise Sighting first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Today in History: Graceland opens to the public
Today is Saturday, June 7, the 158th day of 2025. There are 207 days left in the year. Today in history: On June 7, 1982, Graceland, Elvis Presley's Memphis mansion, was opened to the public as a tourist destination, five years after Presley's death. Also on this date: In 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered a resolution to the Continental Congress stating 'that these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent States.' In 1892, Homer Plessy, a Creole of color, was arrested for refusing to leave a whites-only car of the East Louisiana Railroad. (Ruling on his case, Plessy v. Ferguson, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld 'separate but equal' racial segregation, a concept it renounced in 1954.) In 1929, the sovereign state of Vatican City formally came into existence as the Italian Parliament ratified the Lateran Treaty in Rome. In 1942, the Battle of Midway ended in a decisive victory for American naval forces over Imperial Japan, marking a turning point in the Pacific War. In 1965, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Griswold v. Connecticut, struck down, 7-2, a Connecticut law used to prosecute a Planned Parenthood clinic in New Haven for providing contraceptives to married couples. In 1976, New York magazine published an article by journalist Nik Cohn entitled 'The Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night,' which inspired the film 'Saturday Night Fever,' which in turn sparked a nationwide disco craze. (Cohn admitted in 1997 that the article was actually a work of fiction.) In 1979, Texas became the first state to recognize Juneteenth as an official state holiday. (Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021.) In 1998, in a crime that shocked the nation and led to stronger state and federal hate crime laws, James Byrd Jr., a 49-year-old Black man, was hooked by a chain to a pickup truck and dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas. (Two white men were later sentenced to death and executed for the crime; a third was sentenced to life in prison.) In 2006, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed by a U.S. airstrike on his safe house. In 2021, Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and her son Paul Murdaugh, 22, from a prominent South Carolina legal family, were found shot and killed on their family's property. (Alex Murdaugh, Maggie's husband and Paul's father, would be found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison.) Today's Birthdays: Filmmaker James Ivory is 97. Singer Tom Jones is 85.
