See Bruce Springsteen Bring Out Paul McCartney at Liverpool Concert
Bruce Springsteen is performing his first-ever shows in Liverpool, England — the birthplace of the Beatles — this week, so naturally Paul McCartney came out to join the E Street Band for a couple of songs Saturday. Wednesday marked Springsteen's first concert in Liverpool, and it was a Beatle-less affair. Saturday brought the Boss back to the city's Anfield stadium, and it was a pretty routine E Street show again until the encore, when Springsteen and company welcomed out McCartney: More from Rolling Stone Eric Church: 'I Enjoy the Antagonistic' Garland Jeffreys Was One of Rock's Most Essential Voices. Where Did He Go? Rob Reiner: 'Bruce Springsteen Is 100 Percent Right' About Trump 'Thank you Liverpool. You're lucky tonight, we have a young man, a local young man from Liverpool, he's gonna play with us tonight, I think he has a lot of talent, and I believe he's gonna be going places,' Springsteen quipped in his introduction. 'So let's bring out Paul McCartney.' McCartney first led the band on a rendition of the Fab Four classic 'Can't Buy Me Love' — Springsteen and the E Street Band's first time performing that song live — followed by a rendition of Little Willie Littlefield's 'Kansas City' that was popularized by Little Richard and then the Beatles on Beatles for Sale. The two rock legends have shared the stage together on a handful of occasions over the past dozen-plus years: At London's Hyde Park in July 2012, and again at New York's Madison Square Garden in September 2017 (both times they played 'I Saw Her Standing There'). They also performed together during McCartney's East Rutherford, New Jersey gig in June 2022 (playing the Beatles' 'I Wanna Be Your Man' and Springsteen's own 'Glory Days') and, most recently, a week later during McCartney's headlining set at Glastonbury. Mirroring the Beatles' own sojourn from Liverpool to Germany, Springsteen and the E Street Band's European tour next heads to Berlin on June 11. McCartney, who played a residency at New York's tiny Bowery Ballroom back in February, has no tour dates presently on his 2025 calendar.

'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.
