Sir Paul McCartney has popped up for two songs with Bruce Springsteen at his Liverpool concert as part of the Land of Hope and Dreams tour.
Paul and Bruce performed The Beatles’ ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ as well as ‘Kansas City’, a Little Willie Littlefield song which The Beatles also covered on ‘Beatles for Sale’.
The day before Bruce visited the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA). McCartney co-founded the learning facility in his hometown of Liverpool.
Bruce introduced Paul saying, “We are lucky tonight we have a young man, a local young man from Liverpool who is going to guest for us tonight. I think he’s got a lot of talent and I believe he’s going to be going places. So let’s bring out Sir Paul McCartney.”
Bruce previously joined Paul on stage in 2022 at Glastonbury. They have also performed together before at Hyde Park, London and in New Jersey.
