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.

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.
